两人都全然不顾联合国政府间气候变化委员会（IPCC）发布的最新报告，该报告认为“当前数据未显示全球热带气旋频率与上世纪相比有明显趋势性变化 ” ， 并提出“不相信”过去（或未来）数十年中全球变暖会造成任何飓风变化。
Never mind that the latest report by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) found that “current datasets indicate no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century” and reported “low confidence” that any changes in hurricanes in recent (or future) decades had anything to do with global warming.
