" The recent upsurge in the number of major Atlantic hurricanes may be the rule and not the exception, a new report suggests.
The findings of this and other studies call into question recent assertions that global warming is behind the burst in hurricane activity seen since the mid-90s."
"Elsner says more records are needed to piece together the history of hurricane activity in the Atlantic and determine just which factors make hurricanes behave the way they do and which will matter most in the coming decades."
Gee, I thought it was a closed case....
Science must be based on facts....not political special interest.
