I'm not saying that global warming won't cause more severe hurricanes.  I'm not even saying that it won't cause more hurricanes of whatever strength (though, like you said, it may not).

I'm just saying that the climatologists don't believe the current hurricane season's severity may be attributed to Global Warming.


I think that you misspoke because those two paragraphs are conflicting.  Perhaps you meant, "I'm just saying that the climatologists don't believe the current hurricane season's frequency may be attributed to global warming.  In my pointy little head I equate hurricane severity with intensity.

No conflict.  I'm not speaking of the severity of the hurricanes, but of the severity of the season.

The severity of the season is a composite of the frequency and intensity of the individual storms.
