According to Phil Jones, the 1880s was a very cold decade with plummeting temperatures.

U.S. Hurricane Strikes by Decade
The 1880s was also the second busiest decade for US hurricane strikes (22 hurricanes, five major hurricanes) topped only by the 1940s (24 hurricanes, 10 major hurricanes) yet both decades were supposedly very cool, with plummeting temperatures.
According to Hansen, the world has been gaining heat at a rate of 400,000 A-bombs per day due to global warming, and hurricanes are made more frequent and intense by warmer water.
Since the 1880s, Hansen has accumulated almost 19,000,000,000 A-bombs worth of global warming energy, yet global accumulated cyclone energy is at a record low, and the US is currently experiencing the longest major hurricane free period on record – seven years. During the supposedly cold 1940s, the US averaged one major hurricane per year.
So the question becomes, what are Hansen and Jones lying about?
- The temperature record is fraudulent
- The claim of 400,000 A-bombs per day is fraudulent
- The claim that warming temperatures produce more hurricanes is fraudulent
- All of the above
