Are you saying if one year we don't have Hurricanes, then it's climate change too?

No. That's why I wrote "over many years." If I meant in one year, I would have written "in one year."
-
I'm asking, what if one year we don't have Hurricanes. Then what?
-
Then in one year there weren't any hurricanes.

Remarkable stats: 1926-1969 (44 years) = 14 Category 4+ US landfalls 1970-2017 (46+ years) = 5 Cat 4+ landfalls Decrease of >60%

This is a great example of why science looks at trends, and doesn't use arbitrary cutoffs, arbitrary categories, or unrelated factors.
-
Intensity and periods of many years. The trend is a decrease. Might still be due to climate change. Who knows?
-
Climate scientists.

That's because you're looking at something inherently random (where storms go), instead of the strength of all Atlantic storms each season.

What's the Ice Age mean to you then?
-
That there is slow, natural variation in the Earth's climate in addition to comparatively rapid, human-influenced change.
-
There were no humans during the ice age. Experts beg to differ on both sides.

We went 12 years with NO hurricane strike in the US. How'd THAT happen?.
-
Warmer air and water make hurricanes more powerful. They don't determine where hurricanes go.
-
and what is your remedy? shut down society to cool oceans? We had hurricanes before industrialization as well.

Oh yes. Having no Category 5 hurricanes for 9 years (2007-2016) is DEFINITELY a trend (sarcasm)
