[Q]: There are other factors at work besides warming. A global weather pattern called El Niño was absent this year  and that often means a stormier Atlantic Ocean. One reason is that high-altitude "shear winds" in the Atlantic that often nip the tops off budding hurricanes were absent  as well. 
Atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel at MIT  notes that there's also a rather mysterious cycle for Atlantic hurricanes. It seems to repeat about every decade. "We don't really understand it  [but] it's there "  he  says  and it also influences when and how often hurricanes arise. Sure enough  it was 12 years ago  in 2005  when the Atlantic saw such a similarly huge hurricane year.
 Emanuel  says scientists aren't clear whether hurricanes are becoming more common; reliable records for hurricanes go back only about 50 years in the Atlantic  so it's difficult to detect a long-term trend  and data for the Pacific are even scarcer. Theoretically   he  says  some aspects of warming could actually decrease the frequency of hurricanes by drying out parts of the atmosphere. But those that do arise are likely to be nastier. "Insofar as the storms are intense and produce a lot of rain "  he  says  "they're a window into our long-term future."
And it's a costly future   Emanuel  says. "We're just going to get more and more destruction "  he  predicts  "because we just encourage people to live and build in dangerous places" like low-lying coastlines — a fact independent of climate change.

[Q]: As a congressman   Mick Mulvaney  sponsored legislation to abolish the CFPB  and he still doesn't speak very highly of the agency he's leading. Speaking on CBS' Face the Nation   Mulvaney  said the CFPB "has no accountability to Congress. It is perhaps the most unaccountable bureau or agency there is."
 He  said  he  wants to run the agency "with a good deal of humility and prudence." But critics say  Mulvaney  is not being humble   he 's being reckless.
Under  Mulvaney   the bureau has put on hold new regulations for high-interest payday lenders. And it's dropped an investigation into a a payday lender that contributed to Mulvaney's campaign when he was in Congress.  Mulvaney  has said  he  doesn't think those contributions create a conflict of interest.
And now  Mulvaney  has proposed steep budget cuts.  He  says  he 's not "gutting" the agency  but Democrats vow they won't take the move sitting down.
"We will fight any effort to defund the CFPB " says Sen. Chris Van Hollen  D-Md. Van Hollen pressed  Mulvaney  in a hearing this week about the agency head's decision to drop a lawsuit against an online lender called Golden Valley. The lawsuit said the lender is charging illegal and predatory interest rates.
Van Hollen says an NPR report this week prompted him to start looking into the lender. That report said  Mulvaney  dropped the lawsuit even though the entire professional career staff at the bureau wanted to press ahead with the case.
Van Hollen says he wants a full accounting from  Mulvaney  about why he did that. "It's pretty clear right now  if left to their own devices  Mulvany and the Trump administration will essentially turn the keys to the agency over to the very people who are cheating consumers " Van Hollen says.
The CFPB gets its funding from the Federal Reserve  not Congress. But if  Mulvaney  tries to slash  its  budget  Mike Calhoun of the Center for Responsible Lending says Congress could act to block the move.
