Atlantic blowhards

Philip Stott has an illuminating post on Hurricane cycles and human hatred over at Envirospin Watch, including a review of the last two hundred years of Atlantic hurricanes, which emphasizes the cyclical nature of hurricane activity over the longer term.

He rightly concludes:
The idea that recent hurricane patterns may be readily attributable to single-variable human-induced 'global warming' is just not tenable.
He also has a thing or two to say about some of the newspaper articles that followed Katrina's aftermath.

Essential reading for the mitigated sceptic.
