So, Global Warming Makes Cyclones Putter About the Ocean Rarely Reaching Land?

With a few weeks left and only one CAT3 US landfall in 2023, the Climate Cult must be beside itself: all the boiling hot ocean water and only one landfall. The news gets worse. Nothing is coming (anytime soon) to save their narrative.

The only tropical storm in the Atlantic is Phillipe, and his track is estimated to head north from the Sargasso Sea, far too far from shore to be of any use and never achieving hurricane status.

 

 

You might wonder, why, Steve, do we care? Perhaps you don’t, but you have to remember the context. July was hot. Not the hottest, but it was … hot. The media pretended there was nothing like it on record, by which they mean records they’d admit exist. A lot of people swallowed the bait, and what goes with it? The rest of the narrative.

Super-heated oceans create massive super-storms that wreak havoc on coastal communities: sea swell, flooding, damage and destruction, dogs and cats living together. But that last thing is the only thing mankind has caused. Cats and dogs can live together absent the alleged chaos, just like Hot Julys and this year’s hurricane season.

July convinced NOAA to tweak its previous forecast.

In May, it predicted “a range of 12 to 17 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher). Of those, 5 to 9 could become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 1 to 4 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA has a 70% confidence in these ranges.”

In early August, the prediction changed: “The outlook now includes a 70% chance of 14-21 named storms, of which 6-11 could become hurricanes, and 2-5 could become major hurricanes. The updated outlook also states that current conditions are likely to counterbalance the usually limiting atmospheric conditions associated with the ongoing El Niño event.”

As predictions go, they’ve done worse, but not much has come of getting close. Most of the storms were tropical and muddled about the middle of the Atlantic like Joe Biden looking for a hand to shake.

I wouldn’t call it embarrassing; Tropical Storm Phillipe is number 16, the fourth of his name, but when they predict 5-9 hurricanes, including 1-4 major ones, we expect them to be big and make landfall. The Cult gets giddy. Is this the year they get to use that bigger, more frequent storm narrative to socialize energy? Nope.

They must redirect their anger and frustration toward whatever sloppy excuses they can articulate. They certainly can’t say global warming makes more cyclones that just putter about the ocean never reaching land. Oh, and you’re still a denier! And their agenda is still getting rammed down our throats with CAT 5-level executive orders and bureaucratic rule-making.

They don’t need no stinkin’ storms, but it helps the optics.
