Where have all the Hurricanes Gone?

Here is an interesting little peice in regard to the lack of tropical activity for all the global warming prognosticators. As I'm sure you all remember, last season was a record year for hurricanes and who could forget what Katrina did to the Gulf coast states. That area is still a major mess with homes and lives that were shattered by a monster of a storm. The thing that's interesting is that there were so many blaming the storm on global warming which I felt and still feel was a leap of logic.

Well, now it's 2006 and next to nothing has happened weather wise with tropical development. So does that mean global warming is off? If I were to follow their logic, that's the conclusion I would come to. The reason (according to the global warming alarmists) we had so many hurricanes was because of the rise in sea surface temps. in the Carabean and Gulf of Mexico due to global warming, and their prediction was that it was going to get much warmer resulting in more frequent and intense hurricanes. Well guess what, the sea surface temps have gone down. Now how could that have happened with all the global warming? I don't know how these people get away with this propaganda. I mean, the weather forcasters can barely tell you what is going to happen in the next couple of days let alone the next 50 years. They're pathetic over here in the UK, as we have had many days where they can't even predict the weather for the next day accurately. Yesterday was one of those days as they predicted partly sunny skies and we spent much of the day dodging rain drops.

Anyway, here is a good article summing up what I've said and the stats to back it up.
