Hurricane Katia, who has a sexy name |
*UPDATE*
So it seems that God's Wrath (as manifested by the tropical cyclones that we call hurricanes) has in fact increased greatly over the last 100 or so years. Some nerds did some research and this is what they found out :
The analysis identifies three periods since 1900 during which the average number of hurricanes and tropical storms increased dramatically and then remained elevated. The first period, between 1900 and 1930, saw an average of six Atlantic tropical cyclones of which four were hurricanes and two were tropical storms. From 1930 to 1940, the annual average increased to 10, consisting of five hurricanes and five tropical storms. In the final study period, from 1995 to 2005, the average reached 15, of which eight were hurricanes and seven were tropical storms.This correlates directly in a hundred year rise in sinfulness. And a 1.3 degree rise in global temperature. It really could be either thing thats causing all this, or maybe both together, and I am just an amateur climatheologian after all.
