WASHINGTON (AP) - The number of tropical storms (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=) developing annually in the Atlantic Ocean more than doubled over the past century, with the increase taking place in two jumps, researchers say.


The increases coincided with rising sea surface temperature, largely the byproduct of human-induced climate warming, researchers Greg J. Holland and Peter J. Webster concluded. Their findings were being published online Sunday by Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London (http://search.breitbart.com/q?s=).
An official at the National Hurricane Center called the research "sloppy science" and said technological improvements in observing storms accounted for the increase.

We start off the article with opinion and conclude the article with....more opinion...

Global warming nuts in a...well, nutshell!


"We are of the strong and considered opinion that data errors alone cannot explain the sharp, high-amplitude transitions between the climatic regimes, each with an increase of around 50 percent in cyclone and hurricane numbers," wrote Webster, of Georgia Institute of Technology, and Holland.

Oh and by the way Webster and Holland, what about all those Atlantic storms in 2007?

:lala:

Thats what I thought...

So why is there a dearth of hurricanes this year? The scientists involved in such matters say it's because of cooler ocean surface temperatures.

But facts never dissuade Gorebots from their crusade.

100 years ago there wasn't enough technology to determine the number or the intensity of hurricanes. If a hurricane was born and died in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, chances are that no one would even notice it, much less measure its intensity.

Just so. Satellite technology and long-range radar have greatly enhanced our ability to monitor conditions away from populated areas, e.g., in the Atlantic. But don't tell that to the ecoloonies. They have enough trouble remembering which way the switch moves to turn on their lights.

We have a Four Corners BINGO on this answer! That is what makes the Nappy Headed Enviroho's argument so weak!!

But like the good Doc said "facts never dissuade Gorebots from their crusade."

No lived to tell about it, anyway. Or if they did, it was under a palm tree with some Brazilian hottie.

The following charts show hurricanes from 100 years ago (1907, 1908, and 1909). Note the almost complete absence of storms over the Atlantic Ocean. In 1908 and 1909, the only storm tracks over the Atlantic were for storms that hit land.
