“And just in, we have an update for our hurricane season 2018 from the National Hurricane Center....the August update is that we’ve got a 60% chance of a below-normal hurricane season. That would be great news,” Roker announced during a weather report in the 7:30 a.m. ET half hour. He then explained the cause:

Joe Bastardi at Weatherbell has been discussing the record cold temperatures in south Atlantic (although still warm enough to support hurricanes). He said no one and no models predicted this. He did not posit a theory about ice water getting into the Atlantic just north of the equator.

Uh Oh. Batten down the hatches.

Given the fact that MSM is absolutely wrong about everything, Hurricanes will be hitting hard next year.

Hilarious, indeed.

Nothing like predicting after-the-fact.

Just guessing that warmer waters mean fewer hurricanes. HOWEVER....go and look at the stats and it’s a yo yo curve.

These fools predicting hurricane seasons are like Paul Krugman predicting recessions. They are 15 for the last two.

How every many hurricanes we get, that's how many hurricanes global warming climate change is supposed to cause.

Global warming causes global cooling, more hurricanes, fewer hurricanes, more rain, less rain, more snow, less snow and sometimes no change at all.

We may have fewer hurricanes, but we’ll get many storms of bull$shit from the likes of Al Roker and co.

Wow. So all these years of whining of increased hurricanes due to Global Warming and none of these idiots thought that increased temperatures would melt the ice caps, cool the water and prevent hurricanes.

And we’re supposed to believe their models?

Bet Uncle Mikey would beg to differ as I remember when he breathlessly told us back in 2005 we were going to have multiple Katrina sized storms every year because of evil Bush and the GOP.
