That's not physically consistent with more intense storms, there's something fishy in that result.

The global warming impacts are so tiny today that they can't be measured although they might be measured in 100 years. Compared to the natural swings of hurricane activity and compared to the huge population increase and infrastructure build-up along the coast, any global warming effects are likely to be so tiny that they're lost in the noise.

We can explain it after the fact, but we can't forecast that very well, where the storms are going to form.

I think that this is very good science and a very important paper, but I don't think it settles every question.

One thing is fairly certain -- it's going to be a major hurricane.

It's not something we predicted, and I'm not sure it's something we can anticipate way in advance.
It's cyclical. If there are changes from human-induced global warming, they're so small we can't detect them yet.

Fortunately, Zeta is more of a curiosity than a life-threatening event.

Back then forecasters didn't have satellites or even land-based radar. All they had were ships at sea.

It's a good way to end the record-breaking season. Why not have one more and be done with it?
good end
