Maybe they got it backwards. Maybe global warming is STOPPING hurricanes. Or maybe hurricanes were CAUSING global warming. Who knows, but I'm sure the leeches we pay to play with their models will have some new explanation as to why warming has paused and CO2 production is spewing out at ever increasing levels and the hurricanes appear to have gone in hiding.

Let's all watch our paid scientists come up with more stories.
---------------------------------

Over Labor Day weekend, there were exactly zero tropical cyclones anywhere in the world—a very rare late-summer respite. (1500 GMT on Aug. 29 to 2100 GMT on Sept. 1—78 total hours—to be exact, according to data compiled by University of Miami meteorologist Brian McNoldy.) It’s been several decades since there’s been such a lull on the first day of what’s normally the season’s most active month:

The last Pacific tropical system disintegrated exactly a month ago, on Aug. 4, not that the storm-weary Philippines is complaining. Before Hurricane Arthur’s July 3 landfall, the U.S. mainland had gone nearly two years since its last direct hurricane strength strike. It’s been much longer since a major hurricane came ashore—exactly 3,237 days (more than nine years) since Hurricane Wilma hit Florida in October 2005. That is by far the longest streak since American recordkeeping began and has generated a flood of debate (pardon the pun) in the media.

Hurricane season 2014 has produced very few storms so far.

Scientists say smashing your head against a wall repeatedly is bad for you, so they're probably lying and it gives you superpowers. Go prove them wrong!

Edit: Not that you care, but scientists do not assert that hurricane frequency is increased by global warming, and think it perhaps is even decreased (Landsea). Global warming makes storms more severe (Elsner).

Ha ha ha, backwards indeed.

Its Dick Cheney's weather machine that's causing global cooling and no hurricanes.

It was Bush's fault for all the hurricanes, remember?

Correct they are not increasing in number, but they are increasing in power. Now there is balance to the thread topic.

cheers.
Unless those that roll over you are far more powerful than the ones that you used to get in the past.

The mayor of Barbuda will be greatly disappointed as he just accused first world countries of altering the weather which destroyed his island. Guess he won't be getting any big bucks from them.
