Hurricanes are increasing in frequency and strength over the last
few years... trend to continue.

"Over the past few years, we've seen an increasing trend toward
greater activity in the Atlantic Basin and increased strength
in storms," said Marshall Shepherd, a research meteorologist at
NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. " has been leading us
to believe that we are going to start seeing more intense
hurricanes. That may be bearing itself out right now."

A combination of natural cycles and warming ocean temperatures
from global warming may be fueling the destructive storms."

Oh, BTW, Mr. Shepherd and his coworkers are the people that Bush
would like to fire from NASA, given that all of the money should
be going to a manned Mars mission.
