But in 2006 there were only nine hurricanes in the Atlantic, and as of late September of this year only another nine had formed. These numbers run counter to the theory that there is a positive correlation between global warming and the number of tropical cyclones.
只不過 2006 年大西洋颶風又少到僅僅 9 個，今年截至 9 月下旬為止，也只有 9 個颶風形成，又與這種「暖化程度和颱風／颶風個數呈正相關」的說法背道而馳。
