Global Warming Fueling Major Hurricanes? No So Fast!

For the second year in a row, hurricane forecasters have missed the mark (albeit barely) on their forecast for the number and intensity of hurricanes for this year. The forecasters had predicted 7-9 hurricanes, 3 of them Category 3 or better. However, only 6 hurricanes formed, 2 of them major (both Category 5). Now, while this prediction is closer to reality than last year's very off forecast, it is still below what the more alarmist members of the media are trying to tell us will happen. A lot of factors go into hurricane formation, the available energy is the only one. Clearly, the atmosphere is far more complex than any of us can understand, and we should not be surprised if our initial forecasts are off. God has made this world wonderfully complex and yet also surprisingly simple. And above all, he remains in control and will do what pleases Him.
