If the Hurricane intensity-frequency myth is all they’ve got, then climate change is not well. We know it’s not, but tis the season, and it has been less than stellar for the warming planet, heating oceans, more and more intense hurricane cult.

It has been below average, and that is being kind as we near mid-October with nothing on tap. The Atlantic hurricane machine appears to be off. Again.
Oct 11th, 2022 – Not a “creature was stirring.”
But it’s not supposed to be like that. Hurricanes are supposed to be more frequent and more powerful. CO2 warming fueled behemoths.
“Now over a 90% of the extra heat that’s being trapped by that blanket [of greenhouse gases] is going into the ocean where it is powering stronger storms and enabling those storms to ratchet up far more quickly from a tropical storm to category 1, 2 or even 3, 4 or 5.”
No storms and no ratcheting, but we did have one. Hurricane Ian made landfall and made a mess. This killer storm is all the Cult has, which is why “Canadian atmospheric scientist Dr. Katharine Hayhoe” says Ian was made more powerful because of all that warming. But Madhav L. Khandekar and Tom Harris, writing at Real Clear Energy, blow that theory away in one paragraph.
In 2005, Hurricane Katrina was a category 5 storm with maximum sustain winds of 175 mph, causing over $150 billion in damages. Ian was a category 4 at its peak and maxed out at 155 mph sustained wind speed. There has been no hurricane stronger than Katrina in the 17 years since.
For what are our superheated oceans waiting? Where are all these storms? And if man-made CO2 has been superheating the atmosphere, which superheats the oceans, why has the global mean temperature been declining since 2016?

Madhav L. Khandekar and Tom Harris also note that “The North Atlantic is cooling and overall, hurricane activity in the region is now at a low point, and there is no other hurricane developing. With luck, we may not see another major hurricane this season.” And that “It was during the global cooling period between 1945 and 1977, when ocean temperatures were undoubtedly lower than today, that we witnessed stronger hurricanes than now.” So there’s hope?
If the planet is beginning to simmer down after the start of the Grand Solar minimum, Dr. Hayhoe may still get her wish. More time on MSNBC and the opportunity to blame warming for something more likely caused by cooling. Whose result is more funding for “scientists” of her ilk.
She could be the Climate Cult’s little Tony Fauci. The Baghdad Bob of weather.

Chicken Little with a microphone. Look, the sky is falling, and it’s your fault, and the only cure is socialism and lots of money laundered through my “research.”
So stop being a climate denier.
