What was with last year’s voyage into the Greek alphabet?
Really genuine or hyped hopes?
They started naming storms that in the past weren't considered big enough to name. Just another way to manipulate data to feed climate change hysteria.
Since the modern satellite era they’ve been able to track storms out at sea—that never hit land before dissipating—as major storms. So that’s one big jump in number of storms.
I’m also convinced they’re playing with the data—pouncing on wind speeds anomalies to push tropical depressions to tropical storms and storms to hurricanes. It could very well be that some minor storms cross up into a higher category for an hour or so and then fade back down, but to the climate change people—bam! Muh hurricane!
And the fear porn is so great for ratings the media laps this up like starving wolves.
“What was with last year’s voyage into the Greek alphabet?

This is due to the fact the Climate Alarmists are naming hurricanes today that would never have been named in the past. They name storms that are of no consequence today. Storms of minimal strength that spin into the middle Atlantic and die there. This is a very recent practice. And, many Meteorologists have spoken out against this as Weather Porn for political purposes.
