Andrew,

Listening to the likes of Masters, McKibbon and Johnson, the three amigos of climate alarmism, it’s like the 50’s never happened, with Hurricane Carol, Edna, and Hazel.. And that’s just 1954. Then there’s Connie, Diane, and Ione in 1955. These ones were all along the eastern seaboard.

What’s more, why don’t you read up to date scientific research that show little if any trend in tropical storm frequency or strength associated with AGW, like here:
