Weather's nice here in the far western pacific. We had a presentation from a climatologist recently who said that all the recent global climate models are now confirming what we are seeing here with respect to global warming: it is NOT causing more tropical cyclones (hurricanes, typhoons). Rather, the changing temperatures have resulted in a situation where it is much harder for storms to form up, and the last several years seem to be following this trend. This year the Pacific is in an all-time record for least number of tropical cyclones.
This may or may not apply to the Atlantic; I can't remember what he said (all I cared about was my neighborhood). But the interesting thing he told is is how urgently "some" climatologists are suppressing this info, not because it goes against the notion that the earth is warming, which it is, but because it goes against their earlier predictions of what that might mean, and they are terrified of losing public support on the now-proven incorrectness of the predictions that storms would become more frequent and stronger.

Climatologists are a bunch of jerk wads anyways. After Katrina, it was all, "Storms are going to get worse!", "There will be many more storms next year!", and "Prepare for 538 named storms next year!". Just looking for funding... which we know how that played out.
****ers.
****ers.
^That's exactly what this guy is saying - "those" guys don't want the word to get out that their predictions were wrong.
It's not that the earth isn't warming - the data showing that it is is incontrovertible (unless you're a liberal arts major working for Fox news). It's just that these guys can't predict what that means for us worth shit. Sea level rise aside. Climate - ???? very difficult to predict. In this case, for the western Pacific at least, it is turning out to suppress hurricane formation.
(which for us is both a good and a bad thing - but that's another story. I'm just happy my roof will be at a little less risk)

Interesting discussion of the current trend in tropical cyclones throughout the world, and the all-time record low activity here in the Pacific:

It also had this interesting little bit of trivia related to the long spell of good weather we have had, which I had not heard of:
