Global warming is simply the name we give to composite global temperatures creeping upwards. One Hurricane season isn't going to mean much. If Hurricanes begin to decrease in strength over time on average, because ocean temperatures are dropping, it might mean something- but one data point? You're joking, right? I can't imagine you didn't know the answer to this yourself.

I think the fact that we've had a calm season thus far is not probative of anything except perhaps the fact that we do yet fully comprehend the factors which influence the complexity of weather patterns. Not that our lack of knowledge has prevented any number of self-appointed experts from opining. The bigger the opinion, i.e., man-made global warming, global cooling [in the '80s], phrenology's validity, etc., the bigger the margin for error. In my opinion. And we are still in the lion's den, metereologically speaking.
