This hurricane season has been unusally severe…but scientists say it’s probably not a statement of years to come. Jim Kassen is at the UW Space Science and Engineering Center… and he tells WIBA News, “It’s been a far from average season down there…but of course averages are just that…they’re averages. And so…the idea that from one year to the next you’ll have swings very far from averages is not necessarily indicative of anything systematic that we can expect to see next year or anything like that.”Kassen says this year has been an anomoly….and adds it’s probably not indicative of global warming or any other phenomenon that could affect weather in the long term.
