How record-breaking Hurricane Beryl is a sign of a warming world
bbc ^ | 07/05/2024 | Mark Poynting

Hurricane Beryl has wreaked havoc in parts of the Caribbean – and put the role of climate change under the spotlight. With maximum sustained wind speeds of more than 160mph (257km/h), it became the earliest category five Atlantic hurricane in records going back around 100 years. In fact, there has only been one previous recorded case of a category five Atlantic hurricane in July – Hurricane Emily, on 16 July 2005. The causes of individual storms are complex, making it difficult to fully attribute specific cases to climate change. But exceptionally high sea surface temperatures are seen as a key reason why Hurricane Beryl has been so powerful. Usually, such strong storms only develop later in the season, after the seas have heated up through the summer. Hurricanes generally need the sea surface to be at least 27C in order to have a chance of developing. As the map below shows, waters along Hurricane Beryl’s path have been much warmer than this.

We wouldn’t even know that there was or was not a Cat 5 hurricane in the Atlantic 100 years ago... at any time... unless it hit a spit of land with actual weather instrumentation.

EVERYTHING is a sign of global warming. even when it gets colder. He got one thing right, however:

"The causes of individual storms are complex, making it difficult to fully attribute specific cases to climate change."

But then goes on to blatantly contradict himself:

"But exceptionally high sea surface temperatures are seen as a key reason why Hurricane Beryl has been so powerful."

https://www.space.com/what-is-solar-maximum-and-when-will-it-happen Excerpt below
Solar activity has been gradually gaining strength during its current Solar Cycle 25, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) estimates that solar maximum will occur between late 2024 and early 2026

https://www.quora.com/What-effects-does-the-solar-cycle-have-on-Earths-temperature
Total Solar Irradiance (TSI): The Sun’s energy output varies slightly over the solar cycle. During solar maximum, when sunspot activity is high, the Sun emits more energy, leading to a slight increase in total solar irradiance. Conversely, during solar minimum, TSI decreases slightly. These variations are relatively small compared to other factors affecting Earth’s climate, but they can contribute to changes in temperature.

Some people have suggested that hurricane Beryl was man-made. I’m open minded enough to consider that, though I confess I don’t have any evidence either way.

There were huge floods and destruction of towns by hurricanes in the 1800s and early 1900s. No wimpy nerds on TV to label them climate change caused.

Tom Rush version of folk song Galveston Flood. “Wasn’t That a Mighty Storm” is alternate title for an American folk song concerning the 1900 hurricane that destroyed Galveston, Texas.
Galveston Flood
Song by Tom Rush

It was the year of 1900 that was 60 years ago
Death come’d a howling on the ocean and when death calls you’ve got to go
Galveston had a sea wall just to keep the water down
But a high tide from the ocean blew the water all over the town.
Wasn’t that a mighty storm
Wasn’t that a mighty storm in the morning
Wasn’t that a mighty storm
It blew all the people away.
/////////////////////////////////
Couldn’t have been blamed on man-made climate change:
In 1900, the Census Bureau reported that manufacturers produced 5,000 motor vehicles and there were 8,000 registered vehicles in the United States. In 1908, the year Henry Ford began producing the Model T, manufacturers produced 65,000 motor vehicles. There were 197,500 registered motor vehicles on American roads.

Conclusion: Save the planet by absolute obedience to a cabal of mass murderers.

You are the carbon they wish to eliminate. They are saving the planet for themselves.

There’s a 97% consensus among climate scientists that they don’t want to be defunded.
