Al Bore, Obongo and their tax-the-rich (but not them and their waivered few) warmist pals have told us over and over that we can expect more and more deadly hurricanes thanks to global warming, er, climate change, uh, climate disruption, ah, carbon pollution. Yes, that’s it, carbon pollution.
So where are they? This has been the slowest start to a hurricane season on record, i.e. since 1886. Among other inhibiting factors, too much dust is blowing west out of Africa, according to meteorologist Joe D’Aleo. His WeatherBell pal, Joe Bastardi, says we should get ready: “I think this is getting ready to crank up and we should have 2-3 weeks with 5-6 storms and probably a couple of them being major.”
Or not. Obongo did promise to calm the seas, after all, and, since he’s failed at pretty much everything else, he deserves one. And Al, well, as everyone knows, Al could talk anyone or anything to sleep—including hurricanes.
UPDATE: In addition, it’s been the mildest summer across the U.S. in a hundred years. We’ve had a few hundred degree days here but not near as many as usual.

They are supposedly on track in their predictions for tropical events. Why wouldn’t they be, when they are the ones that get to tell anyone when there has been one anywhere? If you are low on your projection, declare a popcorn fart off Cape Verde a hurricane. Who’s gonna know it wasn’t?

The National Weather Service does the declaring and they do seem to be pretty loose with their declarations, as Bastardi, for one, has complained many times. But when the declared storm fizzles out, Al Bore & Co. just look stupid.
Agreed with all of the above. But we sure could a tropical storm here Stanley.
The “increasing destruction” of hurricanes is measured in dollars, so simple inflation would account for increasing devastation. More people building more houses, now protected by taxpayer full funded flood insurance, insures that there will be more to be destroyed each time a hurricane hits.
We could use the remnants of a tropical storm. I’m in no hurry to see an actual one this far inland. Remember the one that drowned the Valley and killed all those people. The sad thing about us and hurricanes is that we can always use the rain but, often as not, someone has to die for us to get it this way.
Not only do those beach-front people keep rebuilding in the line of sight of hurricanes, thanks to that fed insurance, I remember the river dwellers along the Guadalupe rebuilding after a huge flood carried everything away.
What? A presidential decree doesn’t have enough power to change the weather? You must be pulling my leg 😉
