As far as I know, hurricane are cyclical in the atlantic (well, the atlantic is the only place for 'hurricanes') in 20 or 30 year cycles. Not sure if there is much relation to il nino.
As much as I believe that global warming due to human activity is pretty apparent, I am not sure this years crop of hurricanes is due to it. It seems to fit the longer range cycle of hurricanes.
Not sure if the cyclones in the pacific have varied in intenisty and frequency in cyclews over the years - any one got any info. That'd be interesting...
The Daily News here in NY ran an article about what parts of New York City would be underwater if a comprable storm the size of Katrina hit NYC. Not pretty. But at least we're not below sea level.
I think the superstorms are still a few decades off...

Global Warming is overrated.
There have been higher levels of it in the past, due to a number of reasons, vulcanism for one, and no evidence of paleo-catostophic events such as Hurricanes.

True, but human civilization hasn't been at a similar point, so who knows what the consequences would be for civilization. My faith in human beings ingenuity tells me we'll muddle through as a species - but there will be dramatic impact on societies across the globe.

" scientists are split on it "
yea, just like evolution :)
Spend a few weeks reading New Scientist. There aint no kinda "split ". Just as in evolution, evidence is overwhelming. Now does anybody know the exact consequences?
Absolutely not.

there's not an overwhelmingly amount of evidence that supports either theory, that's my point. Unless something new has come up in the last couple of months

LOL
Even Shell, with so much to loose has admited this to be true?

There's no "overwhelming" evidence of evolution, that's why it's still a theory. Actually, quite the contrary, we still cannot find any missing link for any species. Bet most people didn't know that. Microevolution = proven, Macroevolution = unproven.

And so we now arrive in the Great Second Middle Ages.Just tlike the first one, when all the rubes got half the crap that the Greeks and Roman painstakingly accumulated just plain wrong, and allowed a knowledgable "priestly" class of aristocrats to rule everything - well..we've arrived again.
You, cuesta have drank the koolaid.
I'm moving to Ireland to open a 20th century monastery on some wind swept Gaelic Isle to store all the scientific knowledge that all you idiots are going to either fuck up and/or lose and pray for a Second Rennaissance before it's too late.
