Wrong, ABC News, Data Refutes Strengthening Hurricanes Claim

https://climaterealism.com/2023/10/wrong-abc-news-data-refutes-strengthening-hurricanes-claim/ By H. Sterling Burnett The mainstream media, among them ABC News, Reuters and the New York Times, ran prominent stories claiming new research shows that Atlantic hurricanes have now become much more likely to strengthen into powerful hurricanes in a short period of time than in the past due to climate change. This is false. Whatever factors […]

Meteorologist Ryan Maue debunks hurricane ‘intensification’ claims from Wash Post
Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue: “Quite the media rollout for new research paper claiming to link climate change with Atlantic hurricane intensification rates. Unfortunately, the paper does not prove the climate change causation link. Comparing Atlantic storms from two 20-year periods: 1971-1990 vs. 2001-2020, simply conflates very well-known multidecadal variability in the Atlantic, e.g. inactive […]
Pacific Typhoon Frequency Trending Down Over the Past 7 Decades, Contradicting Earlier Climate Predictions – Data from the Japan Meteorological Agency
https://notrickszone.com/2023/09/05/pacific-typhoon-frequency-trending-down-contradicting-earlier-climate-predictions/?utm_source=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pacific-typhoon-frequency-trending-down-contradicting-earlier-climate-predictions by P Gosselin The number of Pacific typhoons have decreased over the past 7 decades. That’s the trend according to the latest data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). Today we look at the data from the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) for the number of typhoons formed in the Pacific in the month of August, now that the […]
Alex Epstein: 25 myths in the media’s Idalia coverage
https://alexepstein.substack.com/p/25-myths-in-the-medias-idalia-coverage The media are using Hurricane Idalia to spread the false narrative that fossil fuels make extreme weather danger worse. In reality, fossil fuels make us safer from extreme weather. Here are answers to the media’s top 25 extreme weather myths. 1 Myth 1: The world is experiencing unprecedented danger from extreme weather thanks to fossil […]
No, BBC, Hurricane Hilary Was Not Unprecedented
Climate analyst Paul Homewood: “Hilary is a very similar event to the 1939 tropical storm, El Cordonazo, which followed a similar path and dumped similar amounts of rain…The claims about record rainfall are bogus as well. The BBC focus heavily on “record rainfall” in Palm Springs, but even that is a fake claim.
The 1939 storm was much more devastating, with 5” in Los Angeles…And the devastation from Kathleen in 1976 was even greater…Rainfall from Hilary has not reached anything like the 375mm (14.76″) recorded in 1976.”
‘Nonsense’: Claims Hurricane Idalia underwent ‘unprecedented’ climate fueled ‘rapid intensification’ debunked
Climate Analyst Paul Homewood: “There have been suggestions that the rapid intensification of Idalia was somehow unprecedented. This is nonsense. Idalia went from a tropical storm, with winds of 60 kts (69 mph), to a Cat 3 hurricane at landfall, with winds of 125 mph, in the space of about 32 hours.
But that was nothing compared to the 1935 Labor Day Hurricane, by far the strongest to hit the US. This went from a tropical storm to a Cat 5 , with winds of 185 mph, all in the space of less than two days. We must also remember, of course, that we now have satellite updates every six hours, plus frequent hurricane hunter flights, to give us almost hourly data for these bigger storms. In 1935, they had little idea what was happening out at sea, and so often had no idea how quickly storms intensified.
