Climate-change zealots are wrong about hurricanes
From our US edition
A remarkable weather record was broken recently. The equinox came and went this September and yet not a single hurricane had formed all year in the entire Atlantic Ocean. It’s the first time this has happened since 1914 – which was back before the satellite era, when hurricanes were more likely to go unrecorded. September is normally peak hurricane season, when the tropical Atlantic gives birth to a series of spinning storms, dubbed hurricanes when their winds exceed 74 miles per hour. (They are usually called typhoons or cyclones in the Pacific and Indian oceans.) One year is not a trend but longer-term data does show a slight downward trend in hurricane frequency.
