Hurricanes by definition occur only in the northern hemisphere and therefore, they only spin counterclockwise. A cyclone, in contrast, spins clockwise.
Look, folks; I know!!! Okay? But as I posted, tropical-cyclones, which are what both hurricanes and typhoons are, DO rotate clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere.
My point is, that for this doctor in meteorology or climatology, or whatever to use a simplistic grammatical point to call for the decertification of meteorologists who disagree is beneath someone who poses as someone interested opening a dialog.
