The Atlantic hurricane season has been surprisingly quiet. But forecasters say that won’t last.

Never, in the 20-plus years it had been issuing outlooks, had the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted so many tropical storms to develop in the Atlantic hurricane basin, with conditions across thousands of miles of ocean aligned perfectly.

“That’s the highest forecast that we’ve had,” Ken Graham, National Hurricane Center director, announced at the annual preseason media briefing in May. NOAA seconded the motion in its Aug. 7 update with a warning that the 2024 season “could rank among the busiest on record.” Every other major forecasting service was on board.

“That’s the highest forecast that we’ve had,”

Every year is.
And one year it will be bad.
Then it will be “I told you so, climate change “

The Atlantic tropics are completely broken, unable to produce tropical storms even w/off the charts “climate fueled” oceans.

Our models no longer work, forecasters can’t figure it out. This is not normal.

What explains the lull?

Ask the volcanoes.

God is in charge.

We are just along for the ride.

Shifting magnetic poles, changing ocean currents, plate tectonics....nothing we puny humans can do anything about!

Dry air from the north is plunging deep into the tropics (because of climate change) which is causing less storm activity in the tropical Atlantic

Yep, That’s one of the new theories

You see more storms from super warm water (from climate change ) should be happening but changing wind patterns (from climate change) are causing fewer thunderstorm clusters in the Atlantic.

Oh and the Tonga volcano eruption a couple of years back is also playing a factor

Oh… and can we please have more tax payer money study climate change, the future of mankind depends on it

“But...that won’t last.”

And it’ll be Trump’s fault. (lol)

Waiting for these guys to run out of theories, is like waiting for McDonald's
to run out of burgers. When reality spits in your face, invent another theory.

All the Democrats and the Globalists have to do is tax the various populations some more. Cripple food supply. Cripple fuel supply. Get ride of gas stoves. Starve us to death.

C'mon man!! Get on board!! Trust the science!!

“National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted”…

There is a difference between predicting and forecasting.

One is science and the other is crystal ball.

Though forecasting hurricanes appears to be quasi science.

Was supposed to be a record year. All that globull warming and stuff. Unless it kicks into high gear, it is all just fear mongering.

Here's what people don't understand.

We are indeed in great peril. They have been measuring the shift of the magnetic poles for the last seven years, and there are indications we are about to experience an unprecedented movement towards a configuration never seen before.

The end result it is going to change the flow of the gulf stream in a way that will cause the dihedral equilibrium between the Northern Hemisphere and the Southern Hemisphere to shift the center of mass of the earth's mantle Southward.

The oceans will warm, and in about 200 years (which is the appropriate lag time after warming begins) we will have astonishingly high CO2 levels that will change the Earth in ways we will be unable to predict.

Equatorial vortexes, rather than Polar vortexes will become the norm, and will likely cause the Earth's temperature to alternately rise and plummet between the traditional seasons, and crops, un-adapted to this cycle are going to fail.

We are going to have widespread famines unless we act now.

(Note: I just made this up out of thin air. It is all babbling gobbledygook. But it is indistinguishable from what we see in the media.)

Only about 2 months of Hurricane season left. Better get busy! (Yes, I realize it can go into November, and has.)
