This was today reported today in the Daily Telegraph and ignored by all other media outlets.
quote:
Today, in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, a study of typhoons is published by Prof Johnny Chan, City University of Hong Kong.
A major conclusion of his study is that global warming apparently is not related to the frequency of intense typhoons.
Instead, such occurrences have a strong decadal variation caused by similar variations in the oceanographic and atmospheric conditions that govern the formation, intensification and movement of tropical cyclones.
Ooooooo I so hate use of quotes in news pieces that are clearly not quotes!!! More correctly, it should say "not...linked", where the missing word is "yet". The article says that there is not enough evidence, not that there is no link. Very different things...
Oh well - that's a relief. I thought most of the major extinction events were put down to climate change after something rather large had smashed into the planet...
Just to throw something into the debate. I read recently that someone had noted a possible correlation between the frequency of North Atlantic hurricanes and wind blown dust from the Saraha. More dust less hurricanes. Just thought would like to know.
Gosh the deities have been busy - most of the posts on this thread have been purged. Maybe they don't want us to know about compression of the galaxy causing mass extinctions every 26,000 years that have been timed to occur in exactly December 2012... spooky....

Or that a Political Science teacher somewhere thinks that TGGWS was broadcast on BBC4...
