Again if you want to post facts, then back them up with creditable links.
Exhaust gases can't possable be "good" but is that the reason the world is warming, again?

here are some facts to back up what i have been saying and you are blindly denying:

Wilma is the 12th hurricane of the season, the same number reached in 1969 and the highest since record-keeping began in 1851. - so they are not increasing in frequency?

It is also the 21st named storm, tying the record set in 1933.

With the six-month hurricane season due to end on November 30, Wilma is the last on the 21-name list for storms this year.
If any other storms form, letters from the Greek alphabet would be used for the first time, starting with Alpha.

Increasing... since 1969? Increasing since 1851? Increasing since 1933? :06:

Based on what I hear from the so called "experts" this is a naturally occurring cycle of hurricane activity. However, you could be right, or wrong. The FACT is we really don't know the why of it.
