Whoop-te-do...
You know, they can only evaluate that metric for the ones seen over the last few decades, with the better satellites.
There have been worse hurricaines in the past.
Implied:
"X happened in the past. Therefore climate change now is not real and we aren't causing it."
Let's see how this works logically.
The earth was a molten ball of rock in the past. Therefore climate change now is not real and we aren't causing it.
Rain happened in the past. Therefore climate change now is not real and we aren't causing it.
Really bad rain happened in the past. Therefore climate change now is not real and we aren't causing it.
A monkey scratched his balls in the past. Therefore climate change now is not real and we aren't causing it.
The subject at hand is that we are seeing more and more extreme events, and those extreme events are getting worse, generally.
No one denies that any given storm or event may have had, at some point, something worse. No one.
That you think this statement is relevant simply says that you lack the critical thinking skills to understand that.
Climate change denial is pseudoscience, and your statement directly supports that thesis.
Thanks for providing more proof supporting my original post. I appreciate it.
