Global warming behind record 2005 storms

There's some new research linking last year's busy hurricane season with global warming.

Previously, researchers had only been able to draw links between global warming and the increased strength of hurricanes, not the total number of storms. You might recall that this was the conclusion of two relatively high profile research papers from MIT and Georgia Tech last year.

Looks like we might have a new wrinkle to think -- and worry -- about.
