Florida will have to be underwater before they will accept climate change as real.

There's countless ships spanning back to the Spanish galleons of the 16th century sunk in those waters because of powerful hurricanes.

Yep, lets blame every storm on climate change and ignore those that happened before TV and satellites. After all, if it was before my life time then it never happened.

Are they getting stronger and stronger? There have been past hurricanes at least as strong as this.

How many years of reliable data do we have. Seems like speculation rather than an strong data based conclusion.
