If the alarmists are right, NOAA data should show a sharp increase in strong tornadoes during recent decades.
And yet, while the stocks haven't replenished fast enough, they have come back, according to two decades worth of NOAA data tables.
The region's seafood landings largely returned to normal in 2011, after the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration closed most of the Gulf to fishing during the blowout, NOAA data show.
According to objective NOAA data going back to 1950, the three decades with the least number of strong tornadoes were, ascending from the least, the 2000s, the 1980s, and the 1990s.
Grist has a post up which takes a look at NOAA climate data for October.
FORBES: If You're 27 Or Younger You've Almost Certainly Experienced Many Colder-Than-Average Months
In a ClimateGate e-mail, CRU Director Phil Jones has acknowledged that CRU mirrors U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data.

Emergency managers along the Mississippi, Missouri and Red River basins used NOAA climate data to help lessen flooding, months before it began.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) data, for example, show the number of strong to violent (F3-to-F5) tornadoes have been sharply declining since the mid-1970s.
The annual average temperature is 54.2 degrees Fahrenheit, and it is ranked the 20th hottest state, according to data collected between 1971 and 2000 by the NOAA National Climatic Data Center.
The research project sends the data to NOAA where researchers compare the anonymous citizen-reports to official radar images.
SeaWinds data combined with other weather-watching data, like NOAA's Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer, paint a picture favorable to hurricanes this season, Liu said.
One upward trend is indisputable: At NOAA, requests for climate data have skyrocketed, and those data are increasingly helping stakeholders cope with extreme events.
"This past year, unlike the US they were not a record globally but they certainly were warm, " said Thomas Karl, director of Noaa's National Climatic Data Centre.
"We're playing in a new neighborhood as far as global temperatures go, compared to even the late 20th century and especially the mid-20th century, " said Deke Arndt, head of monitoring for NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.
Since 1984, tropical waters in the Northern Hemisphere have warmed at a rate of about 1 degree Fahrenheit per decade, according to data compiled by NOAA. This figure is 10 times the global rate, a harbinger of climate change.
Behind the record temperatures was a dome of high pressure over the center of the country, which combined with a powerful drought to create the scorching temperatures, said Jake Crouch, a climate scientist at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N.
Kearns and a team of scientists led by Alan Strong of NOAA's National Environmental Satellite, Data and Information Service analyzed sea surface temperature data from the agency's polar-orbiting satellites from 1984 through 1996.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (Noaa) said that their analysis of temperature data from a global network of weather stations indicated that the average temperature for 2012 was 0.57C above the 20th Century average.
Every year, NOAA's research ships visit the buoys and collect the recorded data.
These transmit data to buoys on the surface, which in turn relay the information to NOAA by satellite.
"GOES-14 will remain the primary GOES satellite over the Atlantic basin and Continental U.S. until the imager and sounder data issues on GOES-13 can be fully diagnosed and hopefully fixed, " NOAA officials said in the Monday statement.
I'm one of a number of researchers at NOAA who are working on ways to combine all of the environmental, radar and other weather data into a computer model that will attempt to predict when the tornado will develop and how strong it will be as much as an hour in advance.
