This is consistent with UKCIP’s latest report which shows no increasing trend in winds in the UK since records began in seventeen sixty something.
“30-year low for Northern tropical cyclone activity”
“Maue's results dovetail with other research suggesting hurricanes are variable and unconnected to global warming predictions, said Stan Goldenberg, a hurricane researcher with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.”
"The simplistic notion that warmer oceans from global warming automatically lead to more frequent and or stronger hurricanes has not been verified," said Goldenberg, whose research points to periods of high and low hurricane activity that last several decades each.”

But surely, Earth's climate system is so simple and easy to understand that anyone could predict what is going to happen in the next 50 years. I mean, climate science is fairly new, yet we have learnt so much. I am surprised that something as big as a hurricane can't be predicted with more accuracy. What are these guys playing at, it's almost as if they are making it up as they go along, explaining one failed hypothesis with another! And to think I always trusted climatologists!
