Most climate scientists say that natural, cyclic phenomena that affect ocean currents and atmospheric temperature--such as El Nino in the Pacific Ocean and the North Atlantic Oscillation--yield decade-to-decade swings in total hurricane numbers that have nothing to do with global warming. Some researchers say that these phenomena are also responsible for all the observed changes in storm intensity. But many other climate scientists are now pointing to global warming as the culprit for increasingly ferocious hurricanes worldwide."
