Remember when one hurricane was overwhelming proof that George Bush had destroyed the planet? Seven years later, warmist Kerry Emanuel just remembered that "Seven years is simply far too short to see global warming signals in U.S. landfalling hurricane statistics of any kind"

Will Our Luck Run Out? Major Hurricane Gap in U.S. | Climate Central

When the 2012 North Atlantic hurricane season starts on June 1, the U.S. will have gone a record 2,412 days since the last major hurricane — with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater —  struck these shores. The last storm to strike with such fury was Hurricane Wilma, which made landfall in Southwest Florida in October 2005.

...Tom Knutson, who works at NOAA’s Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory in Princeton, N.J., said that there is a large amount of variability in the historical record of landfalling storms.

Kerry Emanuel, a meteorology professor at MIT, said the seven-year gap between major hurricanes in the U.S. is most likely just due to chance. “Seven years is simply far too short to see global warming signals in U.S. landfalling hurricane statistics of any kind,” he said via email.
