Hurricanes twice as likely to rapidly intensify into powerful, catastrophic storms in last two decades: study

Atlantic hurricanes are over twice as likely to quickly intensify into major storms in the past two decades compared to a comparable period in the late 20th century, according to research published Thursday in the journal Scientific Reports.

Author Andra Garner of New Jersey’s Rowan University analyzed more than 800 tropical cyclones originating in the Atlantic since 1971. She found that this century, storms grew from Category 1 minor storms to major hurricanes—those with winds of at least 111 miles per hour — within 24 hours 8.1 percent of the tine. Comparatively, storms only intensified that quickly 3.2 percent of the time between 1971 and 1990.

Likely?? Piss off.

[MNJohnnie]

Nonsense.

Blah, blah, blah. This is the same crap we’ve heard for decades. Yet they don’t own up to the mega storms of decades /centuries earlier.

[teeman8r]

OMG...

they intensified 8.1 % of the time...

not even 10%

climate idjits.

Just that headline indicates to me that the “science” behind that article is as believable as a Biden speech. Anyone with even a basic course in statistics could run a spear through the two-celled brain of the authors.

[devere]

A deliberate lie. We went an unprecedented 12 years without a strong hurricane making landfall in the USA.

[DannyTN]

The only way a hurricane during the past two decades is going to intensify more than it already did in the past is if a new time line is created.

So...
Congratulations to the time scientists on creating new alternative time lines.
And I wish Freepers in the alternative time line well.

Unprecedented HOT water in the Gulf and the Atlantic this year, catastrophic hurricanes predicted this season! End of the season, Yawn.

What we’re witnessing is the early birthing pains. Wait until the Church is raptured, the antichrist rises and signs a false peace treaty with Israel, and the 7 year tribulation begins.

Luke 21:24-26
King James Version
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.

25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;

26 Men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.

Cherry-picking a baseline lets you prove anything.

They teach this in Climate Apocalypse 101 in every college now.

[oil_dude]

Oh shut up!

[metmom]

Nonsense.

The last few hurricane seasons have been pretty calm.

And intensification is a result of the current conditions, not *climate change*.

[DJ Frisat]

Since when is something in the past considered relevant in the context of ‘likely’?

What matters is what actually happened, not some idiot’s hysterical prediction.

[dfwgator]

Where’s the Goebbels pic?

[AndyTheBear]

Quack.

[existentially_kuffer]

Here we go again, the end is here.

[hinckley buzzard]

Torturing the data to get it to talk…

[Bob434]

Joe Bastardi has pretty much put the lie about more frequent andm ore powerful storms to rest- but the left just keep spouting the same BS year after year-

[MrRelevant]

The ability to study hurricanes intricately is only decades old, sorry. In fact the thermometer is only 400 years old. So keep counting those tree rings Gandalf.
