As such any noticeable effect in average strength or frequency is still decades away, given the current rate of average decrease in the Arctic, over the next two decades it is going to become difficult to continue to deny something is happening if the Arctic disappears during summer. Thor: wow so you didn't hear about these Ike Hanna - killing 537 people, mostly in Haiti. Gustav - causing up to 20 billion dollars in damage to Haiti, Jamaica, the Cayman Islands and Cuba Dolly - 1.5 billion dollars damage in the U.S. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Atlantic_hurricane_season Even way down here in Tasmania (big island south of Australia) Ike, Gustav and Hanna made the news, and we are literally at the ends of the earth.

Perhaps you could give us YOUR take on it. (I honestly would be interested in reading it) All I know is it is November in Pennsylvania and I still heard tree frogs and crickets chirping last night. Saw a mosquito a week ago. And two days ago I heard Robins singing the mating songs they sing in spring. It got cooler today, but we've had way warmer-than-normal weather this fall.
