Where are all the hurricanes Al Gore, Bill McKibben, Joe Romm, and Brad Johnson say are supposed to happen due to global warming?
August is about to end without an Atlantic hurricane for the first time since 2002, calling into question predictions of a more active storm season than normal.
Six tropical systems have formed in the Atlantic since the season began June 1 and none of them has grown to hurricane strength with winds of at least 74 miles (120 kilometers) per hour. Accumulated cyclone energy in the Atlantic, a measure of tropical power, is about 30 percent of where it normally would be, said Phil Klotzbach, lead author of Colorado State University’s seasonal hurricane forecasts.
“At this point, I doubt that a super-active hurricane season will happen,” Klotzbach said in an e-mail yesterday.
The most active part of the Atlantic season runs from Aug. 20 to about the first week of October. The statistical peak occurs on Sept. 10, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

Weather isn’t getting more severe? That’s HORRIBLE news! It means global cooling is worse than predicted.
There ya go.
You could be on to something. The trend for the last 10+ years has been cooling. We need more SUV's and more carbon to reverse the cooling.
None of you are obviously getting the message. A lack of hurricanes is a direct result of “Climate Change” and if you dare disagree or even question the notion in the least bit, you’re an anti-science Denier and don’t even deserve to have an opinion.
I am on Florida’s northern Gulf coast. We have not had a discernible summer this year except for a total of 3 or 4 days- marginally. We have had a rainy season like this area has not had since that was the norm back in the 50s and 60s.
Some nights I have wished I had a long sleeve shirt at work (I am a night security guard at a shipyard).
Quite! Quite?
That OK, we on the southwest coast are getting it this year. :-)
Makes as much sense as anything.
Regulation is the answer!
Quiet!!

Then you probably won’t like Joe Bastardi’s forecast.
Those guys hype a barely there Low into a monster storm with minute by minute updates. A few years ago the local TV weather reporters were doing their obligatory outside reporting with the wind blowing the reporterette’s hair all out and her coat flapping about her. My daughter who worked at the station said they had to use their big body shop fan for the effects and a water sprayer. I know there was very little wind and the rain was only a sprinkle. I was at work in that maelstrom and got my sleeves damp.
Wasn’t Hurricane Katrina Bush’s fault? According to the liberals, Bush and FEMA mismanaged evacuating and recovery efforts. Did the liberals lie???
One. Ioke hit Johnston Atoll and Wake Atoll in 2006.
Wow, 11years.... You know what else has an 11 year cycle?
Da Sun!
This sounds very reasonable. Is there any long term data showing this relationship?
You won't hear a peep about it in the press. There will be no naming of names as they solomnly make exactly the same pronouncements next year, and are most likely wrong yet again. They'll keep predicting gloom and doom, and eventually, because climate is what it is, there will be an active year, and they'll be led forth in the media blaring their "I told you so's!" to the world. The media will nod their heads as the "scientists" proclaim the end of everything if we don't adhere to their religion of Gaia worship.
It's all as predictable as the rising of the morning sun.
2005, Wilma blew a 15 y/o black olive tree down onto my garage. Was a bad storm.
Nasa had a study that says the wetter the May, the less chance for a hurricane. We’ve had rain almost every day since then.
It is so soggy, my lawn mower almost can’t go through the grass. Just got a new Craftsmen 7.5HP too. Sweet mower.
I know, I should get a life.
Very nicely written.
