And hurricanes have hit the U.S. NOW, was it the same number and of the same intensity as predicted? The idea is that the increasing amount of energy in the atmosphere has to be dissipated somehow. And hurricanes are a way to do that. But so are small-scale storms over land, and so are storms in the Arctic and Antarctic. So why didn't we get those hurricanes? The western Pacific was absorbing the surplus heat and taking it down into the depths where it couldn't generate storms on the surface. So they were right: the heat had to be dissipated. It's just that there was a mechanism for this that nobody knew about. And isn't it lucky we didn't base policy decisions on a tool that wasn't designed or intended for making policy decisions?
