While many studies of the effects of global warming on hurricanes predict an increase in various metrics of Atlantic basin - wide activity, it is less clear that this signal will emerge from background noise in measures of hurricane damage, which depend largely on rare, high - intensity landfalling events and are thus highly volatile compared to basin - wide storm metrics.

Truncating down to 1950 has yet another benefit: it shows that if we ignore the temperature data beyond 1970 (since we're using 1950 - 1970 temperature data to avoid end effects) and find the best fit using only HadCRUT3 up to 1970, we predict the next four decades of temperature remarkably well, even predicting the relatively flat temperature for 2000 - 2010, which the model shows is entirely attributable to SOL and has nothing to do with a cessation of long - term global warming.
