Can I see some correlation please. Ah right, that settles it.

Shameless.

Send an aircraft carrier with chinooks instead. THAT helps.

Frags:

Global warming is the reason we have had stronger storms of recent years with somewhat more frequency than before. While the warming has plateaued over the last 10-15 years, it is still a degree or two higher than a century or so back. Makes for warmer water and bigger storms.

I am not so sure about the anthropogenic character of the current warm cycle, nor am I sure that drastically curtailing CO2 emission is the proper response even if we take that anthropogenic character as a fact, but trying to suggest that we aren't in a warmer period is not the direction to go.
