As Clark mentioned, before we get cranked up again on the Global Warming issue, it really belongs in the Hurricane Ask/Tell Forum, not here. Most tropical mets do not subscribe to the global warming theory as a basis for increased tropical cyclone activity - myself included.

Regarding seasonal activity, I doubt that we will see a season as active as 2005 for another 50 years - perhaps another 100 years (and you can remind me of that next year

).

Cheers,
