Fun facts: 1. Hurricanes have been occurring for millions of years on our *4+ billion year-old planet. 2. The science of measuring hurricane strength is only a few decades old. 3. The Global Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL) has data on hurricanes only back to about 1880. (not much data for historical comparisons). 4. Weather events shouldn't be called a "record" when we only have data for a couple hundred years. (on a 4+ billion year-old planet.) 5. Media and the climate alarmist businesses love to spread unreasonable fear. They love to claim hurricanes, temperatures, rainfall, tornadoes (etc) are "records" due to to human influence on climate. In doing so they're making massive lies-by-omission. Facts are important. Don't be misled by media, government and special interest groups. (*those brainwashed by the Christian cult might still think the earth is far younger. I urge them to seek knowledge.)

I'm curious what you consider "fiction"?

Jess S....Climate change is real. It's been occurring for billions of years. It's influenced by many factors beyond our control. They include tectonic activity, wind patterns, solar radiation and the natural carbon cycle. In addition, there's interesting new studies on the effect on climate of our solar system's position on our galactic disc. All I'm saying is look at the big picture. Realize we only have accurate weather data for a couple hundred years. Don't fall for the fear mongering. While we have to be far more responsible with respect to pollution it's illogical to attribute climate change to a single factor.

Jess S ..And can you please point me to the source of the “300%” and claim that Co2 levels are “higher than they’ve ever been”? Serious question... I’d love to see the factual data. Because the information I’m aware of indicates there’s been times in the past when carbon levels were significantly higher than they are now. In fact, about 150 million years ago the levels were about 10 times higher. And there’s no need for the misplaced political attacks. You’ll note I was neutral in my comment.

jagkings5679 ..Good info. It’s interesting to look at the GFDL hurricane history, which unfortunately only goes back to 1878, to see trends. There are natural influences on storm intensity. My main point is that we only have good data on hurricanes and other weather/ climate events for a relatively tiny period of our history. I think many people hear the word “record” and make incorrect assumptions as to what it means in the big picture.
