    Looking at the total number of storms and hurricanes, there is a clear uptick. 16 out of the last 20 years have been above average for named storms. 13 out of 20 are above average for hurricanes, 12 above average for major (3+) hurricanes, and 13 above average for accumulated energy, including having a new record set in 2005.
    Was there a uptick a thousand years ago? A new record in 2005 out of how many years hurricanes have been developing in the Atlantic Ocean? You do know weather collecting data is in it's infant years?
