...example, are focusing on a multidecade oscillation in Atlantic sea-surface temperatures that closely tracks long-term patterns in hurricane activity. Sea-surface temperatures in the Atlantic rose, for example, between the 1920s and 1970, when hurricane activity was high. And sea-surface temperatures fell in the 1970s, '80s and early '90s, just as hurricane activity dampened...
...nice story, say other scientists, who nonetheless remain skeptical. As Kerry Emanuel, a hurricane expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, puts it, "We really don't have the foggiest idea why hurricane formation in the Atlantic was inactive in the '70s, '80s and '90s and so active in the '40s, '50s and early '60s. So if someone says there'll be more hurricanes than normal over the next 10 years, and someone else says there'll be fewer, each has a 50% chance of being right." The variability of hurricane formation in the Atlantic is one of meteorology...
...same way last year’s Adaptation toyed with the basic structures of the screenplay. Splendor’s foundation is the life of chronically cantankerous graphic artist Harvey Pekar, whose series of autobiographic comic books in the ’70s and ’80s captured the innate complexities of a simple existence and ultimately revolutionized the comic book industry.

Later, he guested on songs with Ray Charles, Emmylou Harris and U2. In the '80s, he teamed with Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings and Kristofferson for a sometime supergroup called the Highwaymen...
