Catastrophic Anthropogenic Climate Alteration (CACA) is very sneaky.
It is pretending to be fake, to lull us into disbelieving the gloom & doom predictions; and then, in just 8+ years...BOOM!
AOC says so!
....for producing an average season!"
.
AN AVERAGE SEASON!!
AN AVERAGE SEASON!!!
EVERYBODY PANIC!!!!
WE'RE SURELY UTTERLY DOOOOMED!!!!

Dang this infernal normalcy...
Couldn’t be.
But if not, then surely the storms were the wildly worst ever recorded!
Just like last year and the year before, climate change was to cause a historical number of “named” storms (of course they now “name” every little disturbance in the oceans), all which would have more intensity and cause more damage. They use the dollar value when determining “more damage” without taking into consideration that home and business values have quadrupled over the years. Plus, more homes have been built on coastal shorelines, which of course, increases the number of homes damaged or destroyed during hurricane weather. The expected number of extremely damaging hurricanes did not happen.
However, the left has to have their “climate change” narrative, so they will do the same next year and the year after that, all while insisting that more tax dollars given to democrat causes will reduce the amount of damages caused by “extreme” weather.
exactly.....
The only somewhat objective metric is ACE although that is tainted too. ACE was 95, the average is 104.
Exactly. So this was a below normal season when you exclude the “named” tropical burps.
Is the average number of storms a result of climate change?
The “hurricane season” lasts for 6 months. Then, “tornado season” lasts for the next 6 months.
So the entire year is “storm season”.
Basically this just seems like a way to keep these liberal climatologists employed in scam jobs.
Environmental scientists led the movement, predicting chilling futures—that overpopulation would cause worldwide famine; pollution would blanket cities and kill thousands; a mass extinction was upon us; oil and mineral reserves were about to run out. Nearly all of these predictions foresaw doom by the year 2000—which we’re now far past. While environmental concerns still reign, the extreme conditions predicted 46 years ago have, for the most part, not yet materialized.
It’s easy to poke fun at these “failed predictions”—and many environmental skeptics do. Those critics aren’t entirely wrong; some of the era’s predictions were based on faulty logic. But others failed to come true because the predictions themselves changed the course of history... -

Congress passed the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, among other powerful environmental laws Hannah Waters, April 22, 2016; https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/why-didnt-first-earth-days-predictions-come-true-its-complicated-180958820/
But for more, first the noaa from 2015:
Unprecedented Sea Level Rise The projected 10 to 12 inches (on average) of sea level rise over the next 30 years (2020 to 2050) will be as much as the rise measured over the last 100 years (1920 to 2020).* Failure to curb future emissions could cause an additional 1.5 to five feet of rise, for a total of 3.5 to seven feet by the end of this century.*
There is a 1-in-20 chance—twice as likely as an American developing melanoma—that by the end of this century, more than $1 trillion worth of coastal property will be below mean sea level or at risk of it during high tide.
Without adapting to the changing climate, some Midwestern and southern counties could see a decline in yields of more than 10% over the next five to 25 years, with a 1-in-20 chance of losses of crops by more than 20%.
The average U.S. temperature in 2017 was 54.6 degrees Fahrenheit—2.6 degrees above average—making it the third warmest year in 123 years of record keeping. Five states had their warmest year on record. Additionally, the five warmest years on record for the U.S. all have occurred since 2006. It stands to reason that these increases will continue each year going forward. If we continue on our current path, by the middle of this century, the average American will likely see 27 to 50 days over 90 degrees each year. - https://coast.noaa.gov/states/fast-facts/climate-change.html
