To understand the scale of the climate emergency, look at hurricanes

… says everybody’s favourite go-to source of Climate Change Porn.

Let’s follow their advice and look at long term records.

And… we establish that there is no discernible pattern or long term trend, it’s entirely random, and this year 2022 (so far) has seen relatively few major hurricanes.

Admittedly there is a lot of cherry picking with this – the Alarmists sneak in definitions like ‘costliest’ (of course $ damages are going up, the Yanks have built a lot more valuable stuff near the coastline over the past century); or include weaker sub-hurricanes (which show up more in the records because people didn’t used to bother counting them, or they formed and dissipated far out at sea); or select shorter time periods over which there appears to be a trend (but which does not show up long term, they are just blips) and so on.

So believe who you want, I always prefer raw data where the parameters are clear and consistent. The raw data just shows random patterns since 1851, and if we’re using hurricanes as a yard stick, there is no climate crisis.
