Media Jumps The Shark With Early Hurricane Hysteria

June 1st marked the beginning of hurricane season in the Atlantic basin. As we reported previously, everyone has been saying how warm the water is and appears desperate to see some storms. They were so desperate that on June 1st, the news was that they were tracking five tropical waves. FIVE!

They meant the weather. Five bits of weather.

Yesterday that number was down to three, same alarmism, but at no point—if you actually looked—did the National Hurricane Center ever report anything other than this.

Weather Underground – a great site with details, radar, and all that geeky business, has looked like this.

None. But there could be! And boy, oh, boy, we’re watching because we’re due, and everyone agrees it could be a hairy Atlantic Hurricane season. That is all true. We’ve done the research and looked to more reliable sources, and they all say the same thing. Lots of storms and lots of landfalls. It has been a long time coming—just not this week.

This is the Atlantic Basin as of 9 AM ET Today (6-6-24).

There is weather with the potential. But week one is a nothing burger as the media plants its climate alarmism seeds. Again, I am not saying they are wrong about the potential. It looks like we could have a hell of a summer, but it has nothing to do with angry climate gods, and subjugating the West under a regime of taxation and declining lifestyles won’t make the weather better.
