the idea that global warming makes strong hurricanes more frequent
Even science journals have been fooled:
Even science journals have been fooled:
* Consider a report by three environmentalist authors back in 1998 in Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), analyzing male-female birth ratios between 1970 and 1990. The authors found male births declining, and predictably blamed man-made chemicals. Yet public data going back to 1940 showed gender ratios are always changing, for no obvious reason. Years that disproved their thesis were simply sliced out.<ref> [http://fumento.com/media/medjournals.html Michael Fumento: Science Journals Delivering "Political Science"]</ref>

Here is statement widely used to promote the idea that [[global warming]] makes strong hurricanes more frequent:
* "... over the past 35 years ... A large increase was seen in the number and proportion of hurricanes reaching categories 4 and 5." [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16166514?dopt=Abstract]
Here is the rebuttal:
* "... not a trend. Rather, it is likely a part of the large interdecadal variations in the number of intense typhoons related to similar temporal fluctuations in the atmospheric environment." [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16556825]
