NOAA: Warmed Global Oceans Produce Less Atlantic Hurricanes

Well, it looks like the waters are muddied a little more. The NOAA has some new research that would seem to indicate that increased ocean temperatures would mean fewer storms in the Atlantic, rather than the more and larger that had been predicted earlier. This underscores that there needs to be a lot more research done before we have any idea how the climate works.

DailyTech - NOAA: Warmed Global Oceans Produce Less Atlantic Hurricanes: "While opposing factions wage war over global warming and what calamities it might bring upon the earth, research by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on ocean temperature and land-falling hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean seems to indicate that a globally warmer ocean may actually produce fewer killer storms."
