The frequency of US hurricane strikes peaked in the 1880’s below 300 PPM CO2, and has been declining ever since.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

That’s an excellent trivia question for people: In what decade did U.S. hurricane strikes per year reach its highest level ever recorded?
And I bet you that even among knowledgeable AGW and CAGW skeptics, more than 75% get the question wrong on the first try. Never mind the AGW fanatics; 100.0% of them will fail the question, of course.

My first feelings (without looking-up anything) is that it’s either in the decade of 1880s or the 1940s. Which actual year has me stumped, so I’ll go and look it up.

When did NOAA start putting “Protecting the past…Revealing the future” at the bottom of their posters?
That’s NCDC doing that. I don’t know when it started. Do you?
BTW Steven’s post has the answer to my question in the first sentence.

where the source quoted (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gifs/hurr-uslandfalling-1950-2007.jpg) is a dead link, or a very, very slow link.
Ah, you’re confusing causation with correlation, or was it the other way round?
