Why This Hurricane Season Has Been So Catastrophic

Stop exhaling if you believe CO2 is a dangerous pollutant.

[dfwgator]

This season has been average.

You want a bad year for Hurricanes, try 1969, and it was more than just Camille.

[Kickass Conservative]

Because Obama was no longer the President and Hillary wasn’t Elected POTUS. Duh...

[gov_bean_ counter]

Really nasty hurricane seasons seem to cycle through every 9 to 11 years.

And that’s the way it is.

I’ll take ‘Climate Change’ for $100, Alex..................

"...WHAT CAUSED THE DROUGHT? Largely, it’s an artifact of how we measure hurricanes. As Hart and colleagues demonstrated in a 2016 study, if you slightly tweak the definitions of hurricane categories, the “drought” mostly vanishes..."

Gee. Kind of the way employment, poverty levels, and homelessness go up and down depending on how we "define" them. When things are going good for liberal POS organizations such as National Geographic, you never hear them fiddling around with how those things are defined.

How I despise liberalism.

And always shall be. And there ain’t a damn thing we can do about it.

The roulette wheel landed on this. Must there always be someone at fault?

[Mears]

Try 1938———one that I remember.

Terrifying.

Conditions aligned to contribute to good conditions for hurricane production and sustainability. Who knew this sort of thing could happen?

Talking about loads of hot air...

When you read this carefully you can conclude:

This guy has some doubts about Climate Change dogma but is too scared to speak publicly about it.

He temporizes that SOME of this COULD be climate change

Then says the future MIGHT bring more hurricane issues because of climate change.

To sum it up, it might or it might not . . . time will tell . . . I want to keep my job . . .

Hurricanes are an ingenious part of our system.

I like cream and sugar in my coffee. It’s always better if I stir it.

If science was behind Anthropomorphic Climate Change, you'd expect there to be a normal distribution around good effects and bad effects.

But, we only see bad effects. 100% bad effects - or more of a skewed distribution.

The only conclusion I can come up with is that it is not global climate change driven by scientists, but rather glowBull climate change driven by alarmists.

Funny how the solar flare cycles are in 11 years. I learned that from the Operating Officer at our solar observatory at the HF Receivers Site, STRATCOM Facility - Teheran 1972-1974

These were there to warn us of impending flares that obliterated out HF communication trunks to Germany, Ethiopia and Turkey.

Article quote: "Every scientist contacted by National Geographic for a previous story agreed that Hurricane Harvey’s record-breaking rain was almost certainly shaped by rising temperatures from human activity."

It's interesting and telling that those "scientists" weren't named. I laughed at the use of the wiggle-words "almost certainly" in the quote. Remember when NG used to be scientifically credible?

Hurricane Ophelia Has Intensified As It Heads Toward Europe

[gov_bean_ counter]

Very true.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Wrong-way Ophelia. Isn’t that a rather unusual track?

[blam]

"Remember when NG used to be scientifically credible? "

Yup.

When they started the political correct BS, I cancelled.
