Tropical cyclone (TC) activity worldwide has completely and utterly collapsed during the past 2 to 3 years with TC energy levels sinking to levels not seen since the late 1970s. This should not be a surprise to scientists since the natural variability in climate dominates any detectable or perceived global warming impact when it comes to measuring yearly integrated tropical cyclone activity. With the continuation (persistence) of colder Pacific tropical sea-surface temperatures associated with the effects of La Nina, the upcoming 2009 Atlantic hurricane season should be above average, as we saw in 2008. Nevertheless, since the Atlantic only makes up 10-15% of overall global TC activity each year (climatological average during the past 30 years), continued Northern Hemispheric and global TC inactivity as a whole likely will continue.
As previously reported here and here at Climate Audit, and chronicled at my Florida State Global Hurricane Update page, both Northern Hemisphere and overall Global hurricane activity has continued to sink to levels not seen since the 1970s. Even more astounding, when the Southern Hemisphere hurricane data is analyzed to create a global value, we see that Global Hurricane Energy has sunk to 30-year lows, at the least. Since hurricane intensity and detection data is problematic as one goes back in time, when reporting and observing practices were different than today, it is possible that we underestimated global hurricane energy during the 1970s. See notes at bottom to avoid terminology discombobulation.

hey, shouldn’t the Nat’l Hurricane Service be issueing dire warnings of massive death, destruction by now?
Mr. Gore, Mr. Al Gore...
Please pick up a white courtesy telephone....
Hello Al Gore...didn’t you say that current global warming was going to bring us more and worse hurricanes?
In other news, the sun remains spot free.
attention Gorebots and global warming hysterics
“The Day After Tomorrow” has been postponed until further notice
Thank You for Your Understanding
MORE PROOF OF GOREBULL WARMING!!!!

Global warming causes hurricanes!!! Hmmm...what causes lack of hurricanes …???!!! :p
PS Atlantic multidecadal oscillation has dipped ‘cool’ to
-.113 AMO a big factor in hurricanes, so 2009 likely to be low.
Global warming causes hurricanes!!! Hmmm...what causes lack of hurricanes …???!!! :p
Global warming of course. Don’t be a dolt. EVERYTHING is caused by global warming and it is Bush’s Fault!
Global warming at work again?
