This is definitely off-topic, but I was just wondering if any of the experts would agree that more 'global warming' would cause more tropical activity/storms, or is that nonsense? Thank you.




Nonsense.

There is a lot of debate about it in the climate change circles, but Dr Chris Landsea, who probably knows more about hurricanes than anyone alive, says that it should not have an impact. You might want to read the Hurricane FAQ located on the NHC website...it answers a lot of those type questions.
