Analyses of wind and significant wave height support reanalysis - based evidence for an increase in extratropical
storm activity in the Northern Hemisphere in
recent decades until the late 1990s.
Affleck brilliantly sets the stage by opening with the assault on the U.S. Embassy in Iran using archival footage and disturbing recreations of the protesters
storming the building (and it's impossible not to think of
recent similar

The

recent winter (2004 - 2005) was unusually high, and there was a great deal of media attention on the
storm trains.
The first effort was launched by the New York Times in a meeting with Trump where they attempted to persuade him, among other things, that
recent storms have been unusually strong because of alleged climate change and that there was connectivity between human
activity and climate change.
... incomplete and misleading because it 1) omits any mention of several of the most important aspects of the potential relationships between hurricanes and global warming, including rainfall, sea level, and
storm surge; 2) leaves the impression that there is no significant connection between
recent climate change caused by human
activities and hurricane characteristics and impacts; and 3) does not take full account of the significance of recently identified trends and variations in tropical
storms in causing impacts as compared to increasing societal vulnerability.
I note that the
recent paper shows a dramatic uptick in
storm activity that has been convincingly refuted by «strong evidence that there has been no systematic change in the number of north Atlantic tropical cyclones during the 20th century.»
There is evidence suggesting a human contribution to
recent changes in hurricane
activity as well as in
storms outside the tropics, though a confident assessment will require further study.
NCDC / NOAA Atlantic Hurricane Season: The
recent average (1997 - 2006) seasonal hurricane
activity in the North Atlantic basin is 14.4 named
storms, 7.8 hurricanes and 3.6 major hurricanes.
The AMO theory holds that an active period ended in 1900, followed by relative calm until 1930, high
activity until about 1970, and calm again until the
recent period of higher - than - normal
storm activity began in 1995.
Our more
recent late 21st century projections of hurricane
activity continue to support the notion of increased intensity (~ 4 %) and near -
storm rainfall rates (~ 10 to 15 %) for the Atlantic basin (Knutson et al. 2013) as well as for most other tropical cyclone basins (Knutson et al. 2015).
Given the
recent and upcoming
storm activity, it's not surprising that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicts the 2017 hurricane season could be the strongest since 2010.
