Are any deniers dumb enough to believe that the 2017 hurricane season has been "average"?
There's currently a question from an "Anonymous" that blocks science realists from answering, that asks why the 2017 (Atlantic) hurricane season has been "so average". The question provides a link
http://c3headlines.typepad.com/.a/6a010536b5803597...
that actually disproves the premise of the question, so I'm wondering if there are any deniers out there dumb enough to fall for it.
GC: Your answer is funny, because you didn't explicitly answer my question, but implicitly you gave a resounding "Yes!" to it.
Admittedly, this question was kind of a test to see whether deniers (or "skeptics" if they prefer) could give an honest answer if they're given data that clearly contradicts what another denier is saying. By and large, they failed. The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season is far from over, but in no sense is it near average. If you try to spin that it was, you're lying.

Deniers will deny no matter what science has to say to the contrary.

Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity.” But what is much more widespread than the actual stupidity is the playing stupid, turning off your ear, not listening, not seeing.

Admitting that climate is a variable condition does not mean that I think man caused it.

The average for the most recent 48 years is 6.2 per year & that 48 years includes the 10 2006 -2016 seasons with virtually no hurricanes.
The Standard deviation is 2.9 so rounded out anything from 3 to 9 hurricanes for the 2017 season could be claimed as average.
This season is not over yet but I don't see anything that would cause a hysterical old woman to start ranting on YA about it.
Of course ranting hysterical old women seem to have become a popular news subject for the past 11 months so you may be the politically correct standard now.

I am trying to remember when I last saw someone of exactly "average" dimensions. No, I can't think. So it sounds like a trick question to me.
Was the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season outside of expectations? No.

When it's to hot...it's Global Warming. When it's to cold...it's Global Warming. When it's just right...it's Global Warming. There have been worse hurricane seasons in the past. There have been better. Global Warming has nothing to do with it one way or the other. Global Warming is a political agenda with the purpose of panicking morons like YOU into adapting a command-economy and dumping our current capitalistic free-market economy so the wise and benevolent Global Warming lobby can gain control of all production and distribution and set up a utopian Communist Police State. It is NOT about the weather.... I AM NOT A CLIMTE CHANGE SKEPTIC, I AM SUSPEICOUS OF THE PROGRESSIVE/GLOBLIST/MARXIST/SOCIALIST CHARLITINS PUSHING YOUR STUPID AGENDA....
