Interesting article in the current issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science
"Poleward migration of the destructive effects of tropical cyclones during the 20th century".
Something for John Larkin to be sceptical about.

This is to be expected because the global warming is diminishing the temper ature differential between the equator and the poles. The pole temps seem t o be rising an integer factor faster than the equatorial regions. Pretty so on the entire orb will be at a uniformly miserable temperature, a place whe re all hell breaks loose daily with our rotational cycle.
They've really got you in their clutches, haven't they. Never mind, pay ever higher taxes and all will miraculously be well again. :-D

You might start paying attention to the increased tax dollars spent on remediating all the damage done by extreme weather.
Hurricane and tornado damage are low lately. But more idiots are getting federal flood insurance and building megabuck houses on beaches and islands and literally in reservoirs, which gets expensive for taxpayers.
google stats on weather-caused deaths, if you can stand to be cheered up.

There is no 'they', taxes go into government. Around here, that's a government by the people, for the people, of the people.
Hurricanes and tornado's don't happen often, so there is a lot of noise in the statistics.
It isn't a good idea to hang around until you have had enough damage to be confident that the rising trend is statistically significant.
It's wiser to use your grasp of physics to deduce that because a one degree Kelvin rise in the average temperature around the, there's 6% more water vapour in the air above the oceans and 6% more latent heat available to fuel extreme weather events
But Jim Inhofe will vote against any measure to discourage them.
Google something about statistics in general at the same time.
Climate change denial enthusiasts do grasp at statistical fluctuations that suit them. Remember how anthropogenic global warming was proclaimed to have stopped dead in 1998, only to resume in 2004 when the next decent-sized El Nino came along?

The graphical aggregator site shows the global extent neatly crossing the on-this-day of the satellite era previous 2017minimum, perpendicular to it today for yesterday. Global ie affecting both ends of the globe regardless of season. Makes you wonder what state the Earth would be if the global total never reached 20 million sq km again. Global Arctic + Antarctic sea-ice total extent dropped 116,000 sq km the previous day and 69,000 the day before, going by NSIDC Charctic. That site shows another day before reaching the record , assuming it could drop 131,000 the next day , to today in effect.
