First of all ED, you are NOT a climatologist and you do claim to be an engineer and a Marine.  According to good science, global warming does not cause increased numbers of hurricanes.  Most scientists in the field  do point out that the intensity of hurricanes are increasing because of increasing sea levels and warmth in the oceans.  Yes the vast preponderance of climatologists and astrophysicists do point to increases of global warming and man's increased use of carbon fuels as one of the major causes.  First of all ED I am a physician and my first PhD was in neuropharmacology and I had my own lab for over 20 years at a large state University where I worked with neurotransmitters and drugs that effected them.   This does make my credentials as a scientist quite adequate, but I am no climatologist. I do understand what good and bad science is.  Bad science comes from paid guns working for tobacco or petroleum companies attempting to show that their industry does not cause harm.
