"Have a look at the data..."

When you cherry pick the data, you automatically lose.

You left out the data on Pacific hurricanes and cyclones in the southern hemisphere.

...When you cherry pick the data, you automatically lose.

Sure, go ahead and check the rest of the data.   Yes, I picked the worst year I could find.   But the track is not so good in other years either.

My point is that even with elaborate computers and software, the scientists can't achieve good accuracy.

But I could be proved wrong...
