It seems that Roy Spencer has changed his tune as well....Here is an earlier quote of his.

Quote:
“There's probably a natural reason for global warming … We will look back on it as a gigantic false alarm … The Earth isn't that sensitive to how much CO2 we put into the atmosphere. I think we need to consider the possibility that more carbon dioxide is better than less."

Any extreme weather event can now be conveniently linked to climate change. Tornadoes, hurricanes, droughts, heavy rains, etc soon maybe even branching out from weather to include volcanic activity, earthquakes and the path the earth takes around the sun as caused by AGW.

AGW increases the risk of extreme weather events....

So where are all the hurricanes?

Seems to be a dearth of them.

Oh wait, it stopped warming over 18 years ago. That must be it.

The USA is not the entire world....There have been 11 typhoons in the western Pacific so far this year....Total damage 8.28 billion and 481 deaths.

There were also 6 hurricanes in the Atlantic....Causing 231.7 million in damage and 17 deaths.

5 more in the Australia region, two of which were cat 5 ....Damage 953 million and 22 deaths.

There were 16 Hurricanes in the eastern Pacific in 2014....Damage 1.237 billion and 42 deaths.

I have not done my tabulation for 2014 as yet, but I do know from history that there are more or less the same number of hurricanes worldwide every year. Where they form is plain old luck of the draw.

In the meantime, the AGW crowd, following the lead of the climate scientists, predicted more and more extreme hurricanes in the wake of Katrina in that unusual year of 53 hurricanes worldwide.

The AGW crowd, and their climate so called scientist gods dont have klew. Proven time and time again.

Why do I think that in the 2014 hurricane season there have been neighborhood 38-40 hurricanes? Even if there were relatively few in the north Atlantic?

Sounds like a standard hurricane season.

Much ado about nothing.

50% seems like a guess which is consistent with this science.
