Hurricanes? I ask... where are all the hurricanes?

So far, I haven't heard a peep in the media, or from those who promote global warming theories and the claim that it is mankind's fault, regarding the slow start to the hurriance season this year. Maybe I've just missed it though. And of course there is a long way to go... perhaps we will still get a lot of them by the end of the year, and perhaps even an above-average number of them. We'll see..

But I'm not alone in noticing this... thanks to Robert Bidinotto for this link that shows the data so far.

Thanks for Robert. Don't worry some other reason will be found to prove gobal warming.

There's a big difference between the events in a short period of time and that of many years when you are looking at something like climate change. (It kind of cuts to the difference between "weather" and "climate") To have such a short-term view is just putting blinders on.

The tone of your post seems to suggest that you're letting political ideology trump science. Mankind has affected the world's climate... to suggest otherwise is certainly your right, but it's also wrong.

The long-term view is exactly my point. The tone of this post was sarcasm. The global warming doomsayers were predicting many and huge hurricanes this year -- and we haven't seen it, which was my point.

Mankind has "affected" the climate, no doubt. But how much? And to what end, positive or negative? And so what?

"Trump science"? My point (in many posts) is that there are scientists on several different sides of the "global warming" issue. Al Gore and others saying that there is consensus doesn't make it so. I have posted several times noting real climate scientists who dispute the global warming alarmists. (And you don't question that Al Gore has a political angle here? He is a politician!)
