Quote:The science is settled because every major scientific agency in the entire world agrees with the statement that anthropogenic global warming is real.


And yes, that's what the scientists predict re hurricanes.


If you don't think that's right, show me.

 

 

Below is a graph of the global accumulated tropical cyclone energy (ACE) since 1972. The 1970's were the coolest decade since the 1930s warming, so starting in 1972 should provide a cherry-picked start date in favor of the "scientists" prediction if they are right about warmer == more powerful hurricanes. 
While ACE goes up and down with the two highest years in the 1990s, there is no long-term trend. If that's what the "scientists" predict re hurricanes, then the "scientists" are wrong. Reality always trumps theory.

 

Also, the US mainland has not had a major (Cat 3 or higher) hurricane since 2005. The longest previous period in history (i.e. what the Climastrologers would call "ever") was 8 years in the 1860s. Note the link below was from a year ago, so add another year to the lull.
