No they aren’t. We really seem to be getting fewer hurricanes. It is the media hype before one that is overkill and hyper.

The original man made global warming claim was there would be an increase in frequency and intensity of hurricanes.

Neither have proven true.

With this new metric they can now claim storms are getting larger by estimating their "Area of Total Destruction".

New rules, new claims.

It’s cyclical, like sunspots and snowfall.

I wish some of these climatologists would take a few minutes to realize we have 200 years of records; 125 years of them are accurate out of 4 billion years of earth history.

Climate change may be happening, but sea levels have been hundreds of feet higher and lower, CO2 has been all over the place, and there have always been big storms.

Changing the metrics is fine—but you cannot assign assumptions to storms that were not measured. It doesn’t make any sense.
