In the 1990 IPCC report, the Medieval Warm Period was much warmer than the late 20th century.
But in the 2001 IPCC report, the Medieval Warm period disappeared and became much cooler than the late 20th century.

The US used to get hit by nearly three category 4 or 5 hurricanes per decade, but now they almost never occur. The last one was Charley in 2004.
Hurricanes used to hit the US almost every year, but in recent years hurricanes have been much less common. The US was hit by at least one hurricane every year from 1938 to 1950, and again from 1952 to 1961. By contrast, there were no US hurricane strikes in 2006, 2009, 2010 or 2013.
