Morano: Climate Change Activists: ‘Weaponizing Every Weather Event’
Climate Change: “Weaponizing Every Weather Event” “The public instinctively knows this, all this is, is they’re weaponizing every weather event to turn it into political activism,” says Climate Depot publisher Marc Morano. “One meteorologist (Joe Bastardi) dubbed it ‘climate… — Marc Morano (@ClimateDepot) January 8, 2025
Data Shows Hurricanes have DROPPED in Power & Frequency for 30 Years, NOT ‘Gotten Worse’
Data Shows Hurricanes have DROPPED in Power and Frequency for 30 Years, NOT ‘Gotten Worse’ by Warner Todd Huston Ask any climate change cultist and they will tell you with a straight and earnest face that hurricanes are getting more frequent and more powerful every year. But the data shows that their claim is […]

Scientists warn of impending ‘Ultra-Intense Category 6’ storm in the year 2100 – Be AFRAID of this ‘theoretical weather event’
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-14210267/Scientists-warn-impending-Ultra-Intense-Category-6-storm.html By MATTHEW PHELAN FOR DAILYMAIL.COM Scientists have made a stark warning of an impending ‘Ultra-Intense Category 6’ storm hitting the US. The prediction comes from an international team of over 60 experts who found the burning of fossil fuels has poured the equivalent energy into the Earth’s systems, heralding a dark new era of ‘mega-hurricanes.’ An ‘Ultra-Intense […]
Pielke Jr.’s U.S. Hurricane Overview 2024: North Atlantic was active while most of rest of the world saw relatively inactive year – No trend in global hurricanes since 1980
The IPCC actually concluded about trends in tropical cyclones: “There is low confidence in most reported long-term (multidecadal to centennial) trends in TC frequency- or intensity-based metrics . . .” …
MIT’s Kerry Emanuel, who is more bullish on human influences on tropical cyclones than the IPCC or most of his peers, but also recognizes that current understandings are far from black and white:
“At present, there is little scientific consensus about trends in global or regional [tropical cyclone] activity, either in the past, as detected in observations or in climate model simulations, or in the future as our climate continues to change.” …
By all metrics, 2024 was a very active season in historical context — the 12th most active in the past 74 years or about the 85th percentile. The continental U.S. saw five hurricane landfalls — 2 major (Category 3+ = Helene and Milton) and 3 minor (Categories 1 and 2 = Beryl, Debby, and Francine). …
The figures above show long-term trends in continental U.S. hurricane landfalls. The last 8 years have seen a lot of major hurricane landfalls. The 8 years before that saw none. Since 1900 there are no trends in either variable. …
North Atlantic hurricanes have not overall become more intense since 1900.
But what if you really, really want to show alarming, upwards trends? Here is what you do: Using ACE, identify the most inactive period for North Atlantic hurricane activity in the past 125 years. That happens to be the period 1970 to 1979. Then, start a trend analysis in 1970. Voila!
Pro tip: Start analyses of hurricane trends in 1970s to detect upwards trends. Attribute these trends to human causes and watch the publications, citations, media coverage roll in!
…
Continental U.S. Hurricane Landfalls by President
Finally, a bit of fun with some meaningless data. The figure above shows U.S. hurricane landfalls by president. President Biden sits in the middle of the pack with Presidents Harding and Eisenhower. A second term President Trump will have a chance to continue his efforts to best President Taft as the president with the most hurricanes during his term in office. President Obama’s record hurricane inactivity over his two terms is likely to stand for a while — Thanks Obama!
