Hmm, this is a rather unfortunate headline
Scientists warn that climate change is fueling more destructive hurricanes
There’s not story, just video. Too bad that
It isn’t your imagination. The tropics in the Atlantic have been very quiet this year despite a forecast from NOAA and other experts forecasting an above-average season.
There hasn’t been a named storm since the beginning of July, and if one doesn’t form by the end of the day, it will be the first August in 25 years to not have a named storm.
“Since 1950, two Augusts have had no Atlantic named storm formations: 1961 and 1997,” tweeted Phil Klotzbach, a research scientist at Colorado State University.
“For the first time since 1941, the Atlantic has had no named storm (e.g., tropical storm or #hurricane) activity from July 3rd-August 30th.”
But the trend may not continue.
“This remarkably quiet Atlantic tropical cyclone period is likely to end soon,” Klotzbach said Wednesday morning.
Climate cultists are desparately hoping for a lot of really, really big, destructive, rainy, windy hurricanes to strike land, especially the United States, so they can fearmonger and demagogue, be on TV and in the news blaming Mankind and saying we have to Do Something. Obviously, that article was from Wednesday, published around 1pm.
There have been a couple of factors which likely led to a quiet July and August in the Atlantic basin, CNN meteorologist Taylor Ward said.
“Primarily above-normal wind shear and dry air.”
Can’t wait for the articles over the next few days proclaiming it was ‘climate change’ that caused there to be no named storms. Remember, they blamed the climate crisis (scam) for creating windshear that limited tropical storm development back around 2008, after the big years crashed down, despite the proclamations of being the new normal, like 2005.
That’s a shame. Georgia needs at least one good storm every year to supply drinking water.
The water in North Georgia is pretty good, South of Macon it gets a bit less good.
If they’re true to form, the warmunists will of course blame the lack of hurricanes on an approximately 1 degree temp rise, just like if there were several hurricanes in August that, too, would be blamed on a 1 degree temp rise. *Science*
It is of course always AGW whenever the weather changes. At all. Period. Rain, Snow, heat, cold, wind, no wind, Hurricanes, Tornadoes, hail, floods, drought…..ETC.
No matter the weather its a SEE I TOLD YOU SO AS THEY STRUT AROUND PUFFING OUT THEIR CHESTS AND PROCLAIMING THEIR INTELLECT AGAINST ALL US CROMAGNONS.
Knuckle Dragging, Deplorable, Semi-Fascists cries the leftists as they eat caviar and drink 100 dollar glasses of Wine wearing 1000 dollar gowns and suits arriving at their conferences in Gas guzzing Limo’s after hours long flights in CO2 spewing jets.
EAT SHIT AND DIES CON MEN!!!! WE KNOW WHATS BEST FOR YOU AND……….AND OUR WALLETS.
But yet the Earth continues to warm!
But so what? It will have only slight impacts on us. Our generations fought and beat the commies in Vietnam (almost) the Islamists in Iraq (almost) and Afghanistan (almost). Let the future generations take their turn and figure out global warming.
Yep, almost as if we are in an interglacial period.
I’m sure you thought you had a point.
In reviewing the temperature record over the past 10,000 years of so, it seems for the past 8,000 years or so the Earth has been very gradually cooling, dropping an astounding 0.7 C! But a century or so ago the temperature has been shooting up… now over 1 C!! So 8,000 years to cool 0.7 C and only 100 to warm 1 C, with no scientific reason to expect warming to slow.
Alky acts as if he didn’t know this. Did you really believe the Earth has been steadily warming for thousands of years?
And it was warmer during the Holocene! With much less CO2.
And it “shot up” much faster during those earlier Holocene periods.
I thought no one could POSSIBLY misunderstand what I wrote.
I was wrong.
I bow to Jeffty.
They’ve been saying this for 20 years. Hasn’t happened yet.
IOW, Global Whining is both promoting and retarding hurricane development. WE’RE ALL GONNA DIE!
Do these people even try to coordinate their propaganda?
Polar bears-fine. Great Barrier Reef-fine. Not difference in hurricane numbers or severity.
Tornadoes-down. But trust us, because we have “consensus”!
