I can predict whether a hurricane is coming by looking at clouds but that's not all that reliable. The Weather Channel sounds easier. ;<) Since the scientists go back millions of years to determine temperature data from old rocks and fossils, and they still can't agree on the import of it all, I don't see how a century or two of hurricane observations tell us more than a short-term trend, if that. And even in that period, I doubt that accurate data is available for more than a relative handful of storms compared to all that took place.
