A new era of hurricanes

Admittedly, this isn't the typical high tech computer-related sort of blog that we normally see and post here, nevertheless, it does fall within the realm of scientific study and seemed very interesting in the light of recent severe weather activity in the Atlantic and Gulf Coast. Weather study and prediction has for years been a secondary interest of mine (it affects all of us). If anything is certain, it's that we don't know more than we do know about out planet's weather. So. whaddya think... global warming or not?
