| Maybe global warming took a vacation this year |
| 2007-10-30 |
| Unless a dramatic and historical flurry of activity occurs in the next 9 weeks, 2007 will rank as a historically inactive TC year for the Northern Hemisphere as a whole. During the past 30 years, only 1977, 1981, and 1983 have had less activity to date (January-TODAY, Accumulated Cyclone Energy). For the period of June 1 - TODAY, only 1977 has experienced LESS tropical cyclone activity than 2007. For the North Atlantic basin, Tropical Storm Noel is currently too weak to impact any of these results. However, one should always be prepared for late-season developments since hurricane season ends on November 30. More at link, including charts and graphs! |

| #8 I just kinda wish Noel would wander on up to Georgia and the other drought stricken regions for a bit. We'd love to share the wealth right now in Brevard County. ;) |

| #7 If it is seems abnormally hot: global warming. If it is really abnormally cold: side effect of global warming. Damned if you do. Damned if you don't. 2+2=5. BECAUSE OF THE CONSENSUS!!!!1!!!one!!! |

| #6 Re: #4 - climate change has been politicized beyond recognition, for sure. That said, if you heat a pot of water very rapidly, as the overheated parts rise cold water will sink. In other words, for a period the temperature in some areas will *drop* as a result of the heating activity. That's what is claimed IIUC re: local lower temps and global warming. |

| #5 Darrel it's impossible to predict a chaotic future. http://environment.newscientist.com/article/dn12833-climate-is-too-complex-for-accurate-predictions.html |

| #4 Didn't you get the memo? It's been re-branded Climate Change, so any weather will fit the new "model" |

| #3 When the weather professionals can't get it right one week in advance and the hurricane professionals can't get it right one season in advance, you've got to be a blithering idiot to believe that Al Gore can predict anything one decade in advance. |

| #2 We're on the beach in NE Florida and we have had 2 weeks of NE winds, rain, squalls, more rain, more squalls and heavy surf. At least it has chased the "red tide" out of here which was as bad as the west-coasters have said it would be. I blame Bush and will not vote for him next year. |

| #1 The tropical storm noted in the article may briefly reach hurricane strength tomorrow. |
