   That’s an excellent trivia question for people: In what decade did U.S. hurricane strikes per year reach its highest level ever recorded?

   And I bet you that even among knowledgeable AGW and CAGW skeptics, more than 75% get the question wrong on the first try. Never mind the AGW fanatics; 100.0% of them will fail the question, of course.

     My first feelings (without looking-up anything) is that it’s either in the decade of 1880s or the 1940s. Which actual year has me stumped, so I’ll go and look it up.

   When did NOAA start putting “Protecting the past…Revealing the future” at the bottom of their posters?

     That’s NCDC doing that. I don’t know when it started. Do you?

     BTW Steven’s post has the answer to my question in the first sentence.

       I noticed the answer at the top after I wrote my reply – hasn’t stopped me checking that it’s correct though.

       That graphic I reference is from en. wikipedia[DOT]org/wiki/List_of_United_States_hurricanes
       to
       commons.wikimedia[DOT]org/wiki/File:Hurr-uslandfalling-1950-2007.jpg
       where the source quoted (http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gifs/hurr-uslandfalling-1950-2007.jpg) is a dead link, or a very, very slow link.

   Ah, you’re confusing causation with correlation, or was it the other way round?
