Storm Warnings | Richmond Times-Dispatch
Yet the idea that climate change is making the weather worse has become something approaching a cliché. As it turns out, however, the seemingly increasing frequency of severe storms might be an illusion. Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have produced a study showing that it might simply reflect better observation and measurement. Another study, from Penn State and analyzing sediment deposits, suggests major storms occurred just as often a thousand years ago as today.

This doesn't disprove the notions that the planet is warming or that humans contribute to the process. But it does leave some egg on the face of climate-change alarmists who, in a phenomenon that has come to be known as "climate porn," get a thrill from viewing any major weather event as a sign of the coming apocalypse.
