More cyclones means global warming, fewer cyclones definitely means global warming--science says

• Item 1, An increase in cyclones indicates man caused catastrophe.
  

• Items 2 and 3, a decrease in cyclones indicates man caused catastrophe. (Translation, evil middle class Americans must pay either way):

• "In the period 1971–2005, since the beginning of a trend towards increased intense cyclone activity, losses excluding socio-economic effects show an annual increase of 4% per annum.

This increase must therefore be at least due to the impact of natural climate variability but,

• more likely than not,

also due to anthropogenic forcings."...

"In 2005, the Association of British Insurers (ABI) produced a report arguing that climate change could increase the financial costs of extreme weather around the world. “Even quite small increases in the intensity of major storms (hurricanes, typhoons, windstorms),

• as predicted by the latest climate change science,

could increase damage costs by at least two-thirds by the end of the century."...
