Oh, really? You need to link that study because I also saw a segment on the Weather Channel that stated the reverse, that in the last five years, 6 of the most powerful hurricanes on record have occurred. According to the information that I have read, it's NOT THAT THERE ARE MORE hurricanes because of the warming, but that they are MORE SEVERE. So, perhaps you don't have your facts correct.
Below is a link to a recent article testifying to this:
Is climate change making hurricanes worse? | The Economist
We need to corroborate our facts in these debates to ensure we didn't misunderstand our facts. If you can point to the study you indicated, it would be good to do. I could google it myself, but better that you do.
Also, nothing I ever read said that the Ice Age destroyed the dinosaurs. It was a collision with a comet or asteroid. Science is never settled, but it is a means to approach the truth with "a priori" evidence. It certainly is more accurate than someone spouting an idea that supports some profit-making enterprise that has no basis in science.
