Let me ask: What is the evidence that the growing concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are changing weather
systems in such a way that hurricanes become more powerful, or more frequent?
"Based on recent research, the consensus view is that we don't expect global warming to make a difference to the frequency of hurricanes," explains
Julian Heming, from the UK Meteorological Office.
"Activity is naturally very variable in terms of frequency, intensity and regional occurrence; in the Atlantic, there are active phases and not so
active phases, and currently we're in the middle of an active phase."
We would all benefit from people on both wings of the issue looking rather more to research, however laboured its progress, and rather less to
screaming headlines and easy quotes.
