Imagine, say, a bell - shaped curve based
on the null hypothesis that climate change is not happening (and not having an impact
on increasing extreme weather events), and there is this really long tail out to infinity; and supposing we get an off - the - charts category 7
hurricane in January, we still can not attribute it or its extra intensity or unusual seasonality to climate change, even if there is only a one in kazillion chance it might
occur without climate change having an effect — that is, it is way out there in the very tiny tail of this null hypothesis curve that fades out into infinity — the tail that says, afterall, anything's possible.

hurricane activity requires a better metric than simply calendar year totals.

occurring fluctuation,» whereby «
on a timescale of two to seven years, the eastern equatorial Pacific climate varies between anomalously cold (La Niña) and warm (El Niño) conditions,» and that «these swings in temperature are accompanied by changes in the structure of the subsurface ocean, variability in the strength of the equatorial easterly trade winds, shifts in the position of atmospheric convection, and global teleconnection patterns associated with these changes that lead to variations in rainfall and weather patterns in many parts of the world,» which end up affecting «ecosystems, agriculture, freshwater supplies,
hurricanes and other severe weather events worldwide.»»

occur in the Atlantic basin, based
on an updated survey of subsequent modeling studies by our and other groups.
