The above list gives an indication of increase in damages. Also when you compare the beginning of the 21th century with present there is an increase in the spread of (stronger) storms. 2000 hurricane season started june 7, ended oct 29 had 19 "systems" ACE 116 2001 start june 4, end dec 4 did have 17 systems ACE 106 2002 july 14 till oct 16 14 systems ACE 67 2003 ACE 175 2004 ACE 225 2005 ACE 250 2006 ACE 79 2007 ACE 72 2008 ACE 144 2009 ACE 53 2010 ACE 165 2011 ACE 126 2012 ACE 133 2013 start june 5 end dec 7 15 systems ACE 36 2014 start july 1 end oct 28 9 systems ACE 67 2015 start may 8 end nov 11 12 systems ACE 63 2016 start january 12 end nov 25 16 systems 141 2017 start april 19 so far 14 systems ACE so far 178 |

Accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is a measure used by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to express the activity of individual tropical cyclones and entire tropical cyclone seasons, particularly the North Atlantic hurricane season. It uses an approximation of the wind energy used by a tropical system over its lifetime and is calculated every six hours. The ACE of a season is the sum of the ACEs for each storm and takes into account the number, strength, and duration of all the tropical storms in the season. The highest ACE calculated for a single storm is 82, for Hurricane/Typhoon Ioke in 2006 DJ-the list goes from 1950-2017 so 67 years. The highest ACE per year is 2005 with ACE=250 2017 is on 8th place but could become the #1 very likely. In the top 25 ACE list 10 years are 2000 or later. |

Estimates for the cost of Hurricane Harvey’s damage have come in at $65 billion, $180 billion, and as high as $190 billion — the last of which would make it the costliest disaster in US history. The numbers from the second record-breaking storm that hit the US this summer, Hurricane Irma, meanwhile, are still rolling in. But totals range from $50 billion to $100 billion. To appreciate how staggering these figures are, consider that they could be enough to make the $18.57 trillion US economy lose a step, knocking between 0.6 percent and 0.8 percent off of US GDP growth this quarter, according to projections from investment banks. Hurricanes keep costing more and moreHere’s one way to put the rising number of costly disasters in perspective: Nine of the 10 costliest Atlantic hurricanes (not including Harvey or Irma) have occurred since 2000. According to NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information, the United States has suffered 212 weather and climate disasters since 1980 that have cost more than $1 billion, totaling $1.2 trillion. (You can see the trend in this great infographic from National Geographic.) |

^VERY good work, DutchJosh!
All of this hurricane energy is clearly related to increasing global temperatures of the oceans. Hurricane season isn't over yet by the way! Be safe, Chuck

Thank you, CRS, DrPH
http://cci-reanalyzer.org/wx/fcst/#GFS-025deg.WORLD-CED.T2_anom-MSLP hurricanes/depressions do not stop at the Atlantic, they move further to Europe, Arctic bringing above average temperatures often, rain etc. The Atlantic hurricane season is quite extreme, the Pacific season is not. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Pacific_hurricane_season Statistics may provide some proof for abrupt climate change. So far the info-for me-is not that clear. Still-abrupt climate change, going exponential-could bring changes that fast we find us on a global Titanic. Maybe there is still some time for us humans to limit the damage ?
