Climate alarmists
love to scare people
about CO2 emissions,
by falsely claiming
that global warming
is causing larger and
more frequent storms.
But storms are NOT
getting more severe,
or more frequent.
That does not stop
leftist climate alarmists
from continuing to make
that false claim again,
ands again.
Always remember
that truth is not
a leftist value.
They see nothing wrong
with lying or exaggerating
to get what they want,
which is usually the power
to micromanage YOUR life.
And the media supports
the propaganda produced
by climate extremists, like the
Union of Concerned Scientists,
Greenpeace, and the UNFCCC.
Here are the facts
you won’t find
in the media.
The following table
shows the number
of Major Hurricanes (3-5)
that actually crossed
into the U. S. mainland.
The decades
before 1960
consistently
had more
major hurricanes
hitting the
United States
than during
the past
59 years.
And the years
2010 through 2019
were supposed to be
the warmest in history,
where atmospheric
CO2 levels are higher
than at any time
in the past 10,000 years.
Below is the 2019 U.S. hurricane map
from NOAA (US Commerce Dept.):
Dr. Chris Landsea,
National Hurricane
Center, says that
many hurricanes
went undetected
before the advent
of satellites.
Especially those
that never
came near land.
And also hurricanes
of short duration,
that only
became known
with the advent
of satellites.
We can now
see hurricanes
as they emerge
from North Africa
— and track them
as they cross
the Atlantic,
with many
swerving
to the North
and missing
the United States.
2010's Hurricane Lisa
rambled around the
Cape Verde Islands
off the coast of Africa
-- a storm
that might not
have been seen
without satellites.
The Gulf
of Tehuantepec,
west of Mexico,
has been known
as the birthplace
of Eastern Pacific
hurricanes for at least
the past two centuries.
Those hurricanes typically
travel west, and sometimes
threaten the Hawaiian Islands.
Sometimes
they turn eastward
and hit Mexico,
with wind and rain
sometimes extending
into New Mexico and Texas.
Hurricane losses will continue
to increase simply because
more people, homes and
businesses exist, that could
be damaged by a hurricane.
The two coastal South
Florida counties, Dade
and Broward, now have
more residents than in ALL
109 counties stretching
from Texas through Virginia,
along the Gulf and Atlantic
coasts, back in 1930 !
Roger Pielke Jr., in his book:
"The Rightful Place of Science:
Disasters & Climate Change",
says,
“There is no evidence to suggest
that hurricanes have become
more common, intense, or costly
for any reason other than
more people and their property
are in locations vulnerable
to their impacts.”
Below are all the hurricane charts I have -- I see no obvious uptrend that correlates with the significant global warming from 1975 to 2005:
