I'll be appearing on the NPR show On Point with Tom Ashbrook this morning at 11 ET to talk about hurricanes and climate change in the wake of Dean. I think it's going to be a fascinating segment because I won't be appearing alone: Two of the key scientists discussed in Storm World, Peter Webster of Georgia Tech and Chris Landsea of the National Hurricane Center, will also be on.
As you may already know, Webster and Landsea disagree pretty vigorously on this subject.
So it should be a pretty interesting segment, and it's a full hour long. Listen in--or even call in if you're interested...list of stations carrying the show is here.

Good job Chris. Although I wish someone had pointed out who stupid that point was from the caller saying, "well the corrected one record - maybe it's all wrong."
What a twit.
Chris - thanks for letting your readers know - my local NPR station does not carry this show. I followed the link and am listening to a recording of the show right now. I was rather amused at the person who called in to the show to throw out NASA's small change in the average temp for 1938 as support for global warming denialism. I'm glad I've read several articles on how this is a non-issue. Hurray for scienceblogs.com, my go-to source for current science.
I'm reading Storm World and am currently in the chapter titled "The #$%^& Hit the Fan."
