“Gore also discussed how warming oceans would cause hurricanes to be more destructive”

I found an insight from an article with a map showing 173 individual hurricanes hitting land on the Gulf and Atlantic coasts from 1850 to present. I decided to see if the upward sloping curve caused by warming ocean temperatures I have always heard about from the climate change people would show more extreme weather. Like everything else they say, it did not make sense.

Concerning a single event, I had the 20:00 to 24:00 OOD watch on the bridge on our ship as Typhoon Rose passed over Hong Kong in 1971. The eye was six miles from us. The measuring device at the British weather station broke as the winds exceeded 175 miles per hour.

I'm retired from the insurance world. I built stuff like this primarily for my own edification but also to bring up in meetings from time to time.

The indoctrination of climate change was very pervasive.

Like your findings mine didn't jive with what we see in the media.

One of my favorite charts was a graph of hurricanes with advancements in communication and detection. Hard to believe we've only had full satellite coverage of the North Atlantic since 1973.

My favorite talking point was how many hurricanes were there and that made landfall prior to 1851?

Did they just start in 1851??

The looks on people's faces when you start looking at the data from a different perspective were precious.
