The Sound Of Settled Science

1. Well, if that’s not Climate Change ….

2. The lack of hurricanes does not matter, as Ibola and the tilting of the earth’s axis is now the latest manifestation of Climate Disruption, aka Climate change, aka Global Warming, or what ever the latest Climate Scam buzzword is.

3. It’s the weather.
   If it’s climate change then bring it on!

4. The problem with this chart, Kate, is that it was created from an actual count of the number of hurricanes. “Everyone knows” that you cannot simply use observed data to make proper scientific charts. As with temperature graphs, the data must be “improved” by applying various assumptions to create more “accurate” data sets. /s
   Data sets that more accurately state what the “modeler” wants them to show.

5. The graph shows “9 year mean”…. whatever that is. Show me the actual counts. I perfectly capable of interpreting a simple chart of numbers by year. Why make it a statistical abstract?

6. No worries, the warmists will use 2014 as a new base year so future normal activity can be misconstrued as abnormal, thus demonstrating their AGW case.
   Or,
   If the warmists are really smart (which they’re not), they will see the pause in warming as an opportunity to get out from under their fraudulent, rent seeking activities by declaring they have cooled the earth with the largesse granted them. Unfortunately, though that keeps them out of jail it ends their pay parade – until the next climate crisis, of course.

7. It’d be pretty hard to hide that decline.

8. You beat me to it BJG. The data have to be “smoothed” and “adjusted”. Then you’ll see the massive increase in extreme weather events like “superstorms” (previously referred to as “hurricanes”) that absolutely proves global climate disruption warming collapse change . . . something or other.

9. That graph, or an unsmoothed original, is neither predicted nor predictable with current science.
