Imagine that!! 2 Hurricanes back to back in the same place! Was there global warming back in the 1700's?

The point in the Yahoo article re people moving close to the coasts is an excellent one. We would have saved trillions if those areas had restrictions on development.
Another factor - just published - is that large storms are getting larger. Global warming is the most likely factor for this.

Its nothing new its not global warming but I will agree it is a concern due to growing coastal population.
How dare any of use look at a 100 or even 200 or 300 year glimpse of weather patterns and decide that there is global warming. I was taught in 7th grade we were heading for an ice age, everyone was positive of it, that was spot on as well.
I think the word here is cycles.
I have lived in Florida for over 20 years now and 4 years ago was the 1st time I encountered a major hurricane. As I understand it the last time this happened was int he 50's..... was there global warming in the 50's???
