Default 100 years of hurricanes hitting and missing Florida
In article -jade,
says...
Has every Atlantic hurricane this season been _caused_ by global
warming? Of course not. Have they been affected by Global Warming?
Quite probably, in that higher than normal sea temperatures would have
increased the intensity of them


Indeed. Had we a stable climate for the past century or whatever, then
none of the TC's in the North Atlantic this year would have formed. We
would have had a completely different set which may have had a higher or
lower number of TC's, with a different intensity curve, and a different
track distribution. They would not have been the same storms with a few
CC induced differences. They would be completely different storms all-
together.

None of this years storms would have occurred had it not been for CC.

No, I wasn't kidding. But I'm not being entirely serious either.
