Any > clue at all? While they are probably wrong, I do agree that many scientists do put a connection as listed above. Howver, as a hurricane Frances victim who only just now got power and phone back up and as a long time, sixth-generation Floridan, I can also tell you that it is a fact that multiple storms have hit Florida in the past. It is in recent memory that storms have not come this way but take a look at the historical tracks of storms and you will see many years that storms either hit Florida or came very close. So, while it is very tempting to try and blame government and industry for the storms, it is more likely that we are just returning to the norm for Atlantic based storms at this time of year. There is still far too much scientific investigation needed in order to definitively prove or even stronly suggest that there is a connection between pollution and global warming. The evidence just simply is not there, in spite of terrible movies that try to suggest otherwise.
