Remember all the times we were told, including in UN IPCC assessments, that the number of hurricanes would increase because someone drove an SUV? And then we were told that maybe that wasn’t quite right, but, someone charging their iPhone would make hurricanes stronger? And then that didn’t pan out. But, if we look in the past (via C3 Headlines)
(CO2 Science) “Lane et al. developed a 4500-year record of intense hurricane-induced storm surges based on data obtained from “a nearly circular, 200-m-diameter cover-collapse sinkhole…reconstructed record of intense hurricanes revealed that the frequency of these “high-magnitude” events “peaked near 6 storms per century between 2800 and 2300 years ago.” Thereafter, it suggests that they were “relatively rare” with “about 0-3 storms per century occurring between 1900 and 1600 years ago,” after which they state that these super-storms exhibited a marked decline, which “began around 600 years ago” and has persisted through the present with “below average frequency over the last 150 years when compared to the preceding five millennia.”” [Philip Lane, Jeffrey P. Donnelly, Jonathan D. Woodruff, Andrea D. Hawkes 2011: Marine Geology]
What does that mean? Hurricanes were more powerful and more frequent the further back you go over the past 4500 years, when CO2 was considerably lower, and the frequency is much lower that previous over the past 150 years. Don’t you hate when scientists do real world science and prove that Warmists are hysterics and practice with crystal balls?
