It’s looking like a bad year for the climate-change departments in the media!

Translation: It’s quiet out there.
Here’s a chart showing the years with the most and least hurricane activity:

From my home in the magical northern woods of Michigan, “hurricane” is a foreign concept.
But every year, I watch the South go berserk this time of year over two things: college football and storm preparations.
This year, we might not have very many hurricanes to write about!
At least, no hurricanes in the Atlantic…
There are currently THREE hurricanes in the Pacific Ocean: Lowell, Karina, and Marie. The warming El Niño trend in the Pacific is increasing storm activity there while the Atlantic remains calm.
