Hurricanes and Ocean Temperature

      We are experiencing another year of numerous, strong hurricanes, and it has fueled the debate about the potential link between these storm events and global warming. Hurricanes are storm systems that form over warm waters in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. These storms have a long history of inflicting disaster on coastal cities and ecosystems, with high winds, torrential rains, and storm surges.  track the frequency and strength of hurricanes since 1980, and compare this data with average surface and ocean temperatures. I then want you to look at the data and see if there is enough evidence to support or not support a correlation between hurricanes (frequency and strength) and global warming.
