" I suppose the LACK of hurricanes the past years would indicate they are totally wrong!"

The contention (per the article) is about the severity of the storms, not the frequency. It is amazing how the carbon energy conglomerates have completely made global warming science a farce in the minds of those on the right.  Somehow scientists are doubted because people are told to be ideologically opposed to it.  It makes no sense to me.  But please, go ahead and believe the non-scientific community who feeds you that rubbish if it makes you feel better.
