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
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.)
The last couple of years the local TV weather folks in Florida keep saying the saharan dust storms, likely caused by global warming, are keeping tropical depressions in check. So don’t forget dust.
