Climate Change is Helping to Rapidly Turbocharge Storms Like Hurricane Ian
TIME ^ | September 28, 2022 | BY SETH BORENSTEIN/AP

Posted on 09/28/2022 5:53:17 AM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Hurricane Ian is quickly gaining monstrous strength as it moves over oceans partly heated up by climate change, just like 30 other Atlantic tropical storms since 2017 that became much more powerful in less than a day.

As the world warms, this turbo-charging of storms is likely to become even more frequent, scientists say.

While climate change doesn’t create Ian and other hurricanes, scientists say that a warming world means an increase in rapidly intensifying storms. Climate change also is making storms slower and wetter, worsening deadly storm surges through sea-level rise, increasing freshwater flooding and expanding the proportion of monster Category 4 and 5 storms, like Fiona last week, several studies show.

The current hurricane season had been uncharacteristically mild until about a week ago because of dry air in the Atlantic. Yet while storms aren’t necessarily more frequent, they are getting nastier because of global warming, experts say.

There is absolutely no scientific data to back this claim!

So global warming is increasing the amount of dry air?

Liars. If they were actually seeking the truth, they would also talk to climate scientists like Joe Bastardi. He can prove in less than one minute the Climate Change agenda the left is pushing is pure bunk.

It should be indicated as “INGSOC-TIME”. So then, why then was the hurricane season relatively quiet this year? I recall Michael Moore back in 2005 predicting two or even three Katrina sized storms each year going forward supposedly because of climate change.

It's amazing Jesus had to be crucified -- He would have probably died anyway from living in the Roman Warm Period (which was hotter than our Modern Warm Period).

It's amazing Moses lived to be really old given that his Minoan Warm Period was even hotter than Jesus' warm period.

(This is sarcasm to brain dead Dim voters in Rio Linda.)

Fewer major hurricanes in the last several years. An inconvenient truth.

And not even a scintilla of facts to back up their claims.

They’ve had to sit on this story because there haven’t been any hurricanes this season.

This is what they live for.

TIME Magazine. The same magazine that warned us all about global COOLING in the early ‘70’s.

No, but there is a “consensus” among “scientists” who receive funding confirming “climate change”.

“Yet while storms aren’t necessarily more frequent, they are getting nastier because of global warming, experts say.”

Those very same “experts” were saying that storms would be more frequent just a couple of years ago.

Interesting. I just watched a guy from the NOAA say just the opposite.

Hurricanes, large or small = Weather. Period.

“Climate change” is a wealth redistribution scam.

Absurd propaganda by leftists attacking the public with the weather. Sick.
