So why was the local peak of hurricane formation in the 1950s, a period of time when global CO2 emissions was less than 10 GT (or less than what China emits today) normal while the modestly higher period of the 2000s are all because of climate change?
Or for that matter, the 10 year period between1878-1887 which also had a high number of hurricanes (even with far inferior monitoring capabilities) when CO2 emission were even smaller?
