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.

In years past I recall several cat 3 or less per year hitting the mainland USA. Now we get one or two per year. May be stronger but a cat 2 or 3 is probably just as damaging as one cat 5. And the multiple storms cover a wider geographic area so the repair costs are much higher.
Rapidly Turbocharge.
Wow.
Utter bs
So how do the climate alarmists explain the 1900 Galveston hurricane? Estimated deaths at the time was 8000+ people.
Oh, oh.
‘Climate change denial now a ‘mental condition’’

Suppose it won’t be long till re-education camps or worse are instituted.....
Scientists say, scientists say, studies show, experts say. That’s in the first six sentences. As usual, we’re being run.
They wrote this story for last year’s season.
All of the libs’ propaganda mouth pieces are flooding the news media with climate scare stories.
Wu-flu is dead so far as controlling the masses is concerned, so something is needed to take its place
The amount of BS in this could fertilize the would wheat crop for decades.
‘Climate change denial now a ‘mental condition’’
That’s amusing as all get-out: just about nobody denies ‘climate change’. Fifteen thousand years ago the neighborhood I grew up in was underneath a monster glacier. Then the climate changed.
As usual, the lefties and enviro-extremists get away with playing game with the language - basically ‘climate change denial’ means that you don’t agree with somebody about everything they say about how much the climate is changing, how fast the climate is changing, and how responsible (if at all) humans are in changing it. That covers a lot of ground, but you better agree with them completely, or your ‘denial’ will get you a free trip to the climate gulag.
Climate change = weather.
Always has been, always will be. ;-)
How many ‘canes have they had this year? Any above a Category 1? Grasping at straws, which are illegal in California.
Wasn't it still "global warming" back then? When did the "Hey, it ain't warming, let's change the narrative" memo go out?
/Massive Eyeroll
🐂💩.
And they know this how?
OH, SHUT THE HECK UP, TIME.
You sound like a crazy person.
Back when I was in high school (yeah 60 yrs ago) a mentor told me “you can’t even trust the page numbers in Time Magazine”
We have had NO hurricanes...and this Lunatic, thinks it’s simply terrible that we have ONE this year.
GROW UP, and check the weather every day and you will be surprised every day..BECAUSE NO ONE CAN PREDICT THE WEATHER, THE CLIMATE.
You had a very WISE mentor. Lucky.
