Not trend tables, but a list of extreme years, including 2004 but this
year is still going so cannot be included.

Named storms (Atlantic) totals

The five year average is clearly exceptional at the moment, but the
record is only 60 years long, and the repeating cycle is 70 years (as
claimed) which is why it cannot be taken as uniquely exceptional for a
few more years.

Major Hurricanes (Atlantic) totals

This time it should be clear that the current high is not exceptional -
a more pronounced high occurred at the end of the 40s.

Accumulated Cyclone Energy Index

Note that this is an index of intensity over time - duration, not just
intensity, which is variable in duration and a poor measure of a
storm's energy. However, it fails to take into account the storm size,
which also affects total energy, so may not agree with Emmanuel's
values.

Again, the graph shows that the current period is similar to the early
50s.

As is regularly said, global warming needs a global trend:

Anthropogenic Effects on Tropical Cyclone Activity
(Revised September, 2005)

I would urge you all to read this last article - it's by a real
scientist who doesn't go around hurling insults because someone dared
to contradict them.
