Maybe ‘Global Warming’ Really Causes Fewer Hurricanes

We are heading toward a record lack of hurricanes… is it due to Global Warming?

The number of named storms is on pace to fall within the range several seasonal forecasts have projected. On average, however, the season should have seen its first hurricane by now, and none has emerged. Indeed, the first major hurricane, with maximum sustained winds of 111 miles an hour or more, typically appears around Sept. 4, notes Dennis Felgen, spokesmen for the National Hurricane Center.

If the first hurricane fails to appear until after 8 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time Sept. 15, this will be the most hurricane-free first half of a season since satellites began tracking the storms in 1967, he notes in an e-mail.

One measure of a season’s oomph is known as the Accumulated Cyclone Energy – a gauge of the energy tropical cyclones expend one by one and accumulated over a season. Through Sept. 5, this ACE index has reached only 25 percent of the 1981-2010 average, according to the NHC data.

Always good to see another complete failure of climate doomseday modelers and their water carriers to predict anything accurately with regard to their holy-grail-co2-mane-made-we-have-to-do-something-now-or-else boy who cried wolf narratives.

The only thing they seem capable of “modeling” so far is the amount of hysteria they need to provide to Democrats and Environmentalists to justify their continued funding to produce more hysteria.  So if this trend continues the new models will have to show us how mankind has busted the natural hurricane cycle and how that too will be the end of the world as we know it.
