Real-time global tropical cyclone activity from Colorado State. Good stuff.

Here's an archived plot of accumulated cylconic energy (ACE) in North Atlantic Ocean since 1851. Named storms are obviously not equal, where the ACE is a combined measure of strength, size, and duration. If increasing CO2 had any impact on hurricanes, one would expect some sort of signal after 163 years of data, but there's none. The peak is 1933. Recent activity has been declining since 2006.



"The emerging consensus links global warming to increasingly destructive power of hurricanes, increasing the strength of the average hurricane a full half-step on the well-known 5-step scale. As water temperatures go up, wind velocity goes up." Al Gore, Inconvenient Truth from May 26, 2006.

LOL!
