Will it be a gentle hurricane season? Well, I obviously hope so. We’re almost a month into it, with just two minor storms, and it does look like things are going to stay calm for another month. But the peak of the season is still a couple months off, so I don’t think it’s safe to draw any conclusions yet.

Of course, I fearlessly predict that regardless of how many hurricanes there are–more, fewer, or the normal amount–some will attribute it to SUVs, and claim that it’s evidence for climate change.
