I’m actually surprised that CNN didn’t try and work some blame on ‘climate change’ in, but, maybe they thought that would just be too much?
The Atlantic Ocean has failed to produce a hurricane in the month of September for the first time in more than 30 years, the latest feat by a super El Niño widely predicted to become the strongest ever.
Only three other Septembers have gone hurricane-free in the Atlantic in records dating back to 1950. It last happened in 1994, and before that in 1972 and 1962, according to Dr. Phil Klotzbach, a hurricane expert with Colorado State University.
Really, it probably goes back further
That is mentioned much later in the article
The numbers have been stark. The average for a season is seven hurricanes, and we should have seen five of them by now. Last year was below average, with five hurricanes — but four had already shown up by the start of October, three of which came in September.
September is usually prime time for hurricanes because storm-fueling warm water is at its most expansive and hottest alongside ripe atmospheric factors. About two to three hurricanes develop in the month on average.
This El Niño-stifled season had already blown past the most reliable record for the longest wait for the first hurricane to materialize, and the lack of any as October begins sets the stage for an even rarer possibility: an entire Atlantic season without hurricanes.
CNN then spends time blaming the super El Nino, but, they seem to be missing a big factor, or, maybe this is why they did not bring up anthropogenic global warming: if the El Nino can do this, maybe most of the weather that happens is mostly caused by nature.
Wait, what? I thought everything was Donald Trump’s fault, so shouldn’t he get the blame for the lack of landfalling Atlantic hurricanes as well?
An even more odious conclusion might be drawn. The climate hysteria lobby was wrong. A few degrees of warming is actually beneficial and leads to fewer storms and a lot less destruction. They were wrong to oppose warming and their predictions of doom were contrary to the science and self-serving all along.
That IS an “odious” conclusion! No doubt there are some benefits to some with a few degrees F of global warming!
But relax! The Earth will continue to warm well into the future and our species (and other!) will adjust or die out!! Humans and cockroaches have proven to be extremely adaptable.
I saw, yesterday, that there were no Atlantic tropical developments forecast for the next seven days.
I make over 220 an hour working remotely and have more time to spend with my kids. My friend’s success paved the way for me. This wonderful opportunity allowed me to find the best work-life balance.
