From Arlene To Beta

I know that the official climatological view is the warming trend in sea water surface temperature is only calculated to produce stronger tropical stroms, rather than more frequent storms, but now that tropical storm 'Beta' is assaulting the south western Carribean one can't help but wonder if global climate change will not in fact spawn more storms as well.

(gawd, that was a run-on sentence ;))

Here's the rundown of the busiest named tropical storm season in the history of the western Atlantic by name:

• 01. Arlene


• 02. Bret


• 03. Cindy


• 04. Dennis


• 05. Emily


• 06. Franklin


• 07. Gert


• 08. Harvey


• 09. Irene


• 10. Jose


• 11. Katrina


• 12. Lee


• 13. Maria


• 14. Nate


• 15. Ophelia


• 16. Philippe


• 17. Rita


• 18. Stan


• 19. Tammy


• 20. Vince


• 21. Wilma


• 22. Alpha


• 23. Beta

It's a good thing that I have a long history about being wrong about most things. Likely this is an anomaly(just don't tell that to anyone affected by any of these storms)
