It looks like the post-civil war record of 1,075 days without a US hurricane strike will end tomorrow. This should be a disaster for climate alarmists, but the propaganda mill is totally corrupt and endemic to the system. They spin all weather events as proof of global warming, and are fully supported by their useful idiots in government and the press.
As CO2 has increased, US hurricane strikes have decreased.

I want Irene to either dip into Tropical Storm category and/or bank East and just miss land.
That is the recipe for watching lots of heads explode on TV today.
“As CO2 has increased, US hurricane strikes have decreased.”
Setting aside that the Atlantic is a whole lot bigger than the US, this is exactly what AGW predicts, less Hurricanes, from 5 years ago;
