According to the interwebs: In the early 1970s, Herbert Saffir, an engineer, and Robert Simpson, a meteorologist, developed a scale to describe the likely effects that hurricanes could have on an area. The scale has five categories, increasing in intensity from 1 to 5.

So this is the earliest Cat 5 storm in 50 years (that we can be sure of). The US Govt only started tracking and naming hurricanes since 1953.

Thread winnah!

Right. You can’t re-educate these people either, since they haven’t been educated in the first place.

“The reality is we are dealing with a “solar maximum.””

May 10 we could see the Northern Lights as far south as South Carolina. It turned the sky pink in Tennessee.

Has anyone ever experienced the Northern Lights so far from the arctic? Probably nobody.

The sun is spewing enormous amounts of energy out right now.

Climate change is here have no doubt
Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

It’ll cook your brain and freeze your feet
Too much rain too much heat

Snow coming soon no relief in sight
Tornados and floods you better run for your life

Climate change is here better hide in fear.
They need more money or it gets severe

Hurricanes on the way they’re comin soon
You’re all going to die in the next typhoon

Too much rain too much drought
Run in circles scream and shout

Yup. That big ball of thermonuclear fire in the sky drawfs any influence we little tiny things on this planet could do.

At least some of the leftist wannabe rulers know this. Some such as AOC are too stupid to understand even the basics.

That's not the real problem. The real problem is leftidiot voters who are too stupid, ignorant, or both to know they are being played. Thank you NEA for turning our education system into an indoctrination system (and other things the leftscum have done).

Hurricanes don’t occur just because it is hot, nor do they become strongly powerful just because it is hot. They occur under very specific conditions with fairly specific crosswinds - too slow and they don’t pick up the spin and carry the vortex to where more energy can be collected, and too fast and they get disrupted. Temperature *differential* is what makes them powerful.

The past two years there has been quite dramatic atmospheric warming. It has warmed so fast, that it completely breaks the models, and is clearly not caused by CO2-based effects.

Don’t get caught up in dismissing the current atmospheric warming just because the hyenas have been screeching about it hysterically the previous few decades. The current signal is quite distinct.

What caused it? Enormous amounts of water vapor blasted into the upper atmosphere by a volcano which erupted at just the right depth so as to not get smothered by the ocean, nor just splay out in the normal fashion. Instead it essentially formed a shotgun blast of water into the upper atmosphere (up to 53km in altitude), where it really doesn’t have any other way to get there, and so it “shouldn’t” be there.

Estimates are that we are going to have a 5-8 period with a lot of warming, and observations show that we have had atmospheric warming the past two years *completely* out of line with the variability on the general warming trend we have seen over the past several decades. The warming trend is far too *large* to be from CO2, or man-kinds actions.

That blasted glow-bull warming. Gotta be the biggest threat to our dear planet Earth. Just reading stuff like this wants me to hide under the bed tonight hugging my Teddy Bear.

Recorded history, as it relates to hurricane strength ratings used today, only goes back 50 years. Beyond that, we can’t judge and compare hurricanes by strength. And for anyone to say anything now is different than before ‘recorded history’, without pointing out the limitations of suck a short recorded history, is scientific malpractice.

“The Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale was developed in 1971 by civil engineer Herbert Saffir and meteorologist Dr. Robert Simpson, who was the director of the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) at the time. The scale was introduced to the public in 1973 and has been used by the NHC to evaluate hurricane strength since the early 1970s.”

*** But the party of slavery in the U.S. wants their cult followers to believe that slavery here was some kind of unprecedented thing.***

Truth!
