Of note-Atlantic still beating WPAC in # of storms

Atlantic 24

WPAC-21

Of course, this will change as WPAC hurricane season is year round but the fact that the Atlantic is leading the way is astonishing.

Agree 100% Jason.We are looking at history being made in 2005 as if Wilma forms it will tie the 1933 season for the most active season ever in the atlantic.Folks this generation will not see a season like this for some years to come although we are at the active cycle of activity and we can expect more active seasons in the next 2 decades.

Luis,

Yeah. This season has absolutely been a once-in-a-lifetime season. I would even say that this season will be remembered more than 1933 because of the tremendous devastation it caused unlike '33.

Safe bet since most of the people who lived 1933 are dead. :eek:

Interestingly despite the drumbeating about increases in the number of storms due to global warming, this year is not unusual on a global scale. The number of tropical cyclones is fairly normal but more of them are in the Atlantic.

1933 - ~2 BILLION PERSONS IN EARTH.

2005 - 6.5 BILLION PERSONS IN EARTH.

IN 72 YEARS THE POPULATION HAS TRIPLE. DAMAGE, UNPRECEDENTED.

Well, the couple who had 16 kids is really helping that.

It's true though... the more people there are, the faster we're all going to multiply.

That graph basically kills the "sex education will lower the population" argument. The more educated we are, the more of us there are

It's medical advances. We have genetically modified foods and amazing medicines allowing so many more of us to have babies and survive, but we don't have the infrastructure or the planning in place for the population boom. Most of it is in poor countries like Haiti, where they needed to consume more and more natural resources like trees to support themselves, and it took place during the relative lull between 1969 and 1995. Now you have storms coming in again, with the same strength as earlier this century, but there's so many more people in the way and so few trees left that even tropical storms are causing unbelievable catastrophes there. Same with exploding development along the US coastline, although that's more related to our increasing national wealth than our increasing population. We've all learned this lesson already, of course...we were the ones paying attention back in 2003 when the experts warned that the drought of landfalling US majors (remember that?) was bound to end eventually. I guess the rest of the world is starting to realize the costs of uncontrolled growth too now.
