1,264 to 1: Correction 27 to 3!

Update: A few folks properly criticized this post as a bit sloppy. It was. Sorry about that. The real ratio is 27 to 3! Thanks for the eagle eyes and keeping me honest.

1,264 27 = the number of news stories covering Michael Mann and colleagues' new paper claiming that Atlantic hurricanes are at a 1,00o-year high.

1 3 = the number of news stories covering Chris Landsea and colleagues' new paper claiming that there is no trend in Atlantic hurricanes over a century.

Bias? You be the judge.
