"If the number of storms is above average, it is caused by global warming. " If it's a nice day, it's caused by global warming, too. Global warming has made the weather better for most in U.S. - When Mark McGuire hit a homer, it was cuz of roids. When he struck out, it was roids. When he walked, roids.

But the Warmists want to have it both ways. Nonsense. Are there some people who make those claims? Sure. You always have people who say silly things. But anyone who knows much about the subject will tell you that the number of disturbances will be about the same. What is difference is that if one occurs, it is more likely to transition to a depression. And a depression will be more likely to become a storm. And a storm to a category 1 hurricane. And so on... It doesn't mean that every disturbance will be a cat 5 storm that zeroes in on New Orleans. But if you look at named storms, the percentage that make it to hurricane status is higher than it was in, say the 1960s. For example, it is quite possible that a storm can form in the Gulf and hit land as a cat 3 or so storm instead of brewing up off the Lesser Antilles and crossing the Atlantic. Whereas decades ago, it might have only reached a tropical storm status. If that.
