As the number of pirates have declined dramatically since 1820, global temperatures have gone up.
You can see from this graph:
It has to be true, it's a graph.
Now, as a Pastafarian, I believe that the reason for this is because pirates are very important to our religion; man was created from pirates by the FSM (Flying Spaghetti Monster) and so are highly revered. The FSM is very displeased at the lack of pirates, and so sends floods and hurricanes to show this.
We must do something to help balance things out right away; as a Pastafarian, I will be paying homage to the FSM by wearing a pirate hat and saying 'yar' as often as possible, especially on Fridays, as well as eating lots of pasta and meatballs and drinking beer, for this also greatly pleases The FSM, praise Him and His Noodly Appendage.
I challenge anyone to find a better explanation.
