If you look up any subject area linked to Climate change (pro-tip, they are all linked), you’ll get more manure than you can manage with a fleet of shit spreaders. The mass of material is copious and contradicts itself, always with a perfectly straight, I am science sort of face. This is serious business we’re in here, by which they mean protecting the grant money mill. No matter who is paying, that’s the science you get. In other words, the “science” of climate change is like Ebby Calvin “Nuke” LaLoosh’s pitching at the beginning of the Movie Bull Durham, sorta all over the place.
The 2025 Atlantic Hurricanes season is in its peak weeks, and the fearmongering grant-chasers have nothing to feed the rabid green fearmongering media dogs they like to sic on the masses. There are at least two serious reasons for this. Warming produces less need to move energy from the equator and wind shear.
We’ve reported on the former but not so much the latter, so I jumped on one of the generic Google machines to run a search, and the results, like Nuke LaLoosh, were all over the place. I did find a few pieces, like this 2007 article from New Scientist. Wind Shear May Affect the Climate’s effect on Hurricanes.
Hurricane activity in the Atlantic may not increase as a result of global warming, according to a new study focusing on changes in tropical wind patterns.
The findings appear to contradict a number of recent studies linking warming waters in the region to an increase in hurricane intensity and frequency. The new study suggests that increases in vertical wind sheer – differences in wind direction and speed between the upper and lower levels of the atmosphere – caused by climate change could counter-balance the affects of warming waters.
“Based on this study, there is no evidence for a strong increase in hurricane activity in the Atlantic over the next century due to global warming,” says Brian Soden at the University of Miami in Florida, US, who carried out the research with colleagues.
Warming air and water (resulting from modern western living) will produce more hurricanes, which wind shear (a side effect of modern western living) will then wreck. Or, something. Keeping in mind that, in parallel to these theories are the ones that say the opposite. We’ll have more hurricanes, more intense hurricanes (tornadoes, floods, droughts, frogs, and burning hail), and then the angel of death will come for your firstborn unless you move into a cave made of Soviet-era cinderblocks with the commensurate loss of property, privacy, and privilege that go with it.
It’s a strange theory. Socialism is a system that the Climate nuts insist we need to save the planet, which is typically the worst polluter on the planet. There are plenty of search results for that, or you can just peruse decades of such musing on these pages, but what about the looming spectre of the Atlantic Hurricane season?
It’ll be awful ‘cuz climate change, but climate change will be why it isn’t awful – a word whose meaning changes, depending on what you think makes for a terrible hurricane season. So far, we’ve had a few tropical storms and a few hurricanes, but none of them have made a US landfall. An outcome we also shared some column inches on.
[W]hat that group found was from 1600 to 2000 in New England. This is Peterson, Massachusetts, Providence, Rhode Island area that from that 400 year period, the most active period was the 19th century. And I’ll ask the question rhetorically, what was the coldest period between 1600 and 2000? And the answer of course is the 19th century. Same research was done by Kerry Mock at the University of South Carolina. He did tropical cyclones impacting Charleston from 1778 to 1998.
The most active period in Charleston was the 19th century, which happened to be the coldest. And then a colleague of mine at LSU Kalu did some research in southern China, and he wrote remarkably, the two periods of typhoon strikes in Guangdong coincide with two of the coldest and driest periods in northern and central China. So the take home message here is that essentially if we have colder periods, we will get more hurricane activity.
There is a storm in the Atlantic basin (Invest 91L) on a path to cyclone-hood and very likely even hurricane-force winds, but can it survive the side effects of modern Western living?
The grant-hungry hogs who line up at the trough hope so. Their livelihood, like the handmaiden media that aids and abets their fraud, depends on televised domestic disasters.
On a positive note, these hogs are increasingly starved for resources under the Trump Administration. Think of it as windshear breaking up the green laundromat hurricane wasting billions of taxdollars on something that, even if it were real, the science is so bad it doesn’t deserve to be funded by taxpayers. Another field where wealthy individuals who genuinely believe can fund the science themselves and then try to peddle it to the masses (without disclosing how the answer will benefit them financially or grant them more power).
