Sean, this is a worse study than I was giving it credit for. “Focuses on hurricanes in the last decade”: there is no way that one can draw any conclusion on the relationship between global warming and increased hurricane intensity over such a short amount of time (10 years). That would be the case for any climate phenomenon but even more…
Sean, this is a worse study than I was giving it credit for. “Focuses on hurricanes in the last decade”: there is no way that one can draw any conclusion on the relationship between global warming and increased hurricane intensity over such a short amount of time (10 years). That would be the case for any climate phenomenon but even more so for hurricane activity which shows strong auto correlation.
There’s one way to avoid cherry picking studies of dubious quality and that is to rely on assessments such as the IPCC.
Honestly, if you aren't going to read the studies then I'm going to leave the conversation here. It doesn't just study the last decade, but it focuses on whether the past decade fits historical patterns. It's a good study, and I recommend doing a lot more reading on the topic before you form conclusions.
