CBS Gets the Facts Wrong About Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Trends
Whats Up With That? ^ | 10/1/2024 | Linnea Lueken

Posted on 10/01/2024 8:57:13 PM PDT by Swirl

A recent broadcast weather segment on CBS News, Los Angeles, titled “Helene gaining strength from climate change effects,” features a staff meteorologist claiming that hurricane Helene was strengthened by climate change, and that indeed hurricanes in general are increasing in intensity and power. This is false. It is actually shocking how wrong CBS is with regards to what actual hurricane data show, which is that hurricanes are not getting more intense, frequent, or powerful.

....it is so appalling when the mainstream media takes advantage of peoples’ fear preceding dangerous storms, and their losses and misery following them, in order to make false claims about climate change. CBS’s meteorologist is either shockingly poorly informed about hurricane data or just doesn’t care about facts, despite her training as a meteorologist.

See BS who would seriously trust them for accuracy?

This crowd nowadays would even have Uncle Walter Cronkite himself scratching his head?

It’s not just hurricanes. F5 (or EF/IF5) tornadoes used to occur roughly annually. But the last one anywhere in the world was the Moore, OK tornado in 2013. F5 tornadoes have basically gone extinct. When are the climate alarmists going to cope with that fact?

Yes, Red Walter's lies were much smoother.

Of course no one challenged the old commie either.

That does make a difference.

Careful. He lost me when he undermined our troops. His input and opinion. “They” keep talking about how they just reported the news without their own input. 🐂💨💩 That’s how I saw it. October 2, 2024.

Hurricanes haven't changed. People have. There are more people, and more human infrastructure, where there were none before.

I would think the lefty loony nature lovers would be happy. We are going back to the stone age. Nature is taking back the planet.

ABC evening news has been repeating the same lie all summer. They start almost every broadcast with a weather event, somewhere, and present it as evidence of our “climate change emergency”.

Walter went in for “Earth Day” in my day but I want to believe he would have figured out ‘climate change’ as a Big Government-Big Business scheme that goes too far.
