If your energy cult predicted more and stronger hurricanes, why exactly should we invest in and rely on an energy source that is susceptible to damage from them? That’s a good question, but it’s not supposed to make sense like most everything else in the climate change policy universe. Besides, the people in charge will … Read more
Google tossed this bone at me the other day. “National Hurricane Center tracking 4 tropical waves as we near the peak of storm season.” The headline comes from TC Palm, serving South Florida (part of USA Today). As an observer and blogger, I was caught by such things. Holy crap, I thought, here it comes! … Read more
No major hurricane has made landfall in the continental United States for a record-breaking 129 months, according to data going back to 1851 compiled by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The last major hurricane to make landfall on the continental United States was Hurricane Wilma, which slammed into Florida on Oct. 24, 2005–129 months ago. … Read more
No, I did not get a response. Where are all the hurricanes we were promised? #GlobalWarming https://t.co/eBaeydg0Hj — Steve Mac Donald (@TheRealNHSteve) July 21, 2016
Want to know a secret? The word ‘Change’ in Climate Change means they can change the meaning every time nature proves them wrong…which is often. More snow, colder winters, growing ice-caps, cool rainy summers in the central plains, fewer wildfires, expensive liberal-owned beach-front property still above water, everything that contradicts all their modeling and scare-mongering … Read more
So, why the bust? “The 2013 Atlantic hurricane season looks set to go down as a big washout, marking the first time in 45 years that the strongest storm to form was just a minor Category 1 hurricane. There could still be a late surprise in the June 1-Nov. 30 season, since the cyclone that … Read more
Two weeks and then some after writing about how the 2013 hurricane season has been a dud, it continues to be a dud despite dire predictions by ‘experts’ of an above-average year. It has actually been a below-average year so far. While there is still time for the number of storms to pick up, it … Read more
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, … Read more
If you’ve recovered from the underwhelming Facebook IPO, perhaps you are ready for this? Trayvon was beating George Zimmerma badly before the man finally shot him in self-defense. There is no doubt about that. So here’s an observation for the anti-second amendment clowns who are always insisting that lawfully armed citizens run away from any … Read more
We followed Tropical Storm Francine from her infancy, and as expected, it hit Louisiana as a Category 2 hurricane. The Louisana coast is a dangerous place to take up residence if you are allergic to storm surges. It floods quickly and often, so the media can’t resist the urge to break out the climate hyperbole. … Read more
NewScientist, which I take to mean they peddle the new scientism, got some help from Google the other day. They have an article about the Jetstream that was pushed to the top of the news feed. It posits the notion that your emissions broke it. The problem with the new science is that the old … Read more
With only five days until the cyclone season peak (9/10/24), the climate kids are all a flutter. NOAA is simultaneously tracking five disturbances across the Atlantic basin that could develop into cyclones. How likely is that? Not very. Not yet. I modified the latest NOAA map with their percentage chance for each disturbance. At this … Read more
One of the risks of writing about hurricanes a day before the content is published is that they can form in the interim. This has happened to me before, but not so much this year. That’s odd. All the indicators suggested a knock-down drag-out storm-a-palooza of a season. It has yet to materialize only days … Read more
Atlantic Hurricane Season peaks in August and September, but we were warned as early as the spring. It will be a very active season, and I bought into that. It’s been a long time coming. We’re due. The Atlantic water is warm (boiling, depending on who you ask), and we have this La Nina thing … Read more
One of the fun things about science is if you allow it to happen, questioning theory, inquiry, data, analysis, and observation, the results tend to destroy the scientism peddled by the proglodytes. Who doesn’t want to do that? It’s fun. They get all spittley and hysterical and then call you names like denier. Yes. I … Read more
Scathing summer heat has fueled incendiary headlines attributing record-breaking temperatures around the world to climate change. The presumption that individual weather events such as hurricanes, storms, or wildfires can be traced to greenhouse gas emissions displays the shoddy ideological fearmongering employed by climate alarmists in lieu of credible scientific fact. Noticeably omitted from assumptions that … Read more
Hurricane Season is finally perking up a notch. We’ve gone from a few tropical depressions to one named tropical storm to one actual hurricane. Beryl is currently a Category 3, north of French Guiana and Suriname.
Tropical Cyclone One is puttering about northwest of the Yucatan and projected to hang a hard left into the heart of Mexico. It’s not American landfall, and it’s not a real hurricane yet, so pooh on that. But it is as good a time as any to abuse a few Climate Cult articles of faith.
Wacky Wendy Thomas wants religion taught in public schools. Not Christianity, of course. No, Wacky Wendy wants climate paganism taught. Children will be taught that those who reject this religion are “climate deniers.”
You can feel it in the air (Phil Collins or Bernie Seigle?)—the promised energy of a heated Atlantic hurricane Season. The oceans are boiling, and we are overdue for an above-normal number of storms in the Atlantic Basin. This should be a banner year for storms.
