Wrong, Kenneth. Read the NY Times article...

Because hurricanes form over warm ocean water, it is easy to assume that the recent rise in their number and ferocity is because of global warming.

But that is not the case, scientists say. Instead, the severity of hurricane seasons changes with cycles of temperatures of several decades in the Atlantic Ocean. The recent onslaught "is very much natural," said William M. Gray, a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University who issues forecasts for the hurricane season.

So, Kenneth, you now have an atmospheric science background? No?

Sorry, Kenneth, but I'm going to have to side with William M. Gray. Unlike you, he is a professor of atmospheric science at Colorado State University.
