- jhayward 8y agoYou can't really be comparing deaths in the era of no forecasting with deaths in the modern era. It's dishonest.
- masonic 8y agoWhat does forecasting have to do with storm severity? My comment was addressing the conflation of storm severity with climate change. Severity of named tropical storms does not correlate well with temperature data.
- jhayward 8y agoYou are inferring severity from death count, as I read it. The existence of category 4/5 hurricanes in 1900 can't really be used to deny global warming if that's what you're after.
