I didn't follow this thread until I read it this morning. It is kind of amazing to watch it change from gun longevity all the way to hurricanes and global warming.
Y'all know what I think about globaloney but at least I can assure you that the American Meteorological Society has demonstrated that there is no correlation between the two. Simply put, whether or not global climate change is occurring or not, there is no evidence that hurricanes are any bigger than ever. Reference here: Pielke, Jr., R.A., C. Landsea, M. Mayfield, J. Laver and R. Pasch, 2005. Hurricanes and global warming, Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society, 86:1571-1575. This is peer reviewed, and by the way Pielke does believe there has been warming of the climate up until the last decade but does not believe the source is anthropogenic.
But as Copper rightly points out our population density is much greater along the coasts which increases the potential for property damage to occur. I wonder if anyone has estimated what property damage the Galveston hurricane of 1900 would cause today. I bet more than $60 billion.
