Milton is a climate change deniers nightmare.

[Delldude]

Left tried the CC BS on hurricanes ten or so years ago and got laughed out of the room.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

It's amazing after all these years the climate change hoax still finds buyers.

 

[Marener]

Less hurricanes before means less energy pulled from the water by said previous hurricanes.

All the references I have seen are for record temperatures in July, not August, not September, not October.

Who said anything about fewer hurricanes?

 

[Marener]

Sorry Spud, not only hasn't Milton hit land yet to be categorized, but two Cat 5 hurricanes isn't unusual, as per data already posted. We had TEN severe hurricanes in the 1940s when there was no climate change and almost as many a century before that. To date, all our weather can be attributed to random variation.

Zero category 5 hurricanes in the 1940s.

 

[jotathought]

Florida is having a hurricane? huh? I thought it was supposed to be completely underwater by now.

 

[martybegan]

This has been a moderate season numbers wise, especially in the early part.

So there aren't fewer hurricanes.

 

[martybegan]

Zero category 5 hurricanes in the 1940s.

But there were in the decades before and after. Nice attempt at actual disinformation.

Historical examples of storms that made landfall at Category 5 status include: "Cuba" (1924), "Okeechobee" (1928), "Bahamas" (1932), "Cuba–Brownsville" (1933), "Labor Day" (1935), Janet (1955), Inez (1966), Camille (1969), Edith (1971), Anita (1977), David (1979), Gilbert (1988), Andrew (1992), Dean (2007), Felix (2007), Irma (2017),[19] Maria (2017),[20] Michael (2018),[21] Dorian (2019), and Otis (2023) (the only Pacific hurricane to make landfall at Category 5 intensity).

 

[martybegan]

So there aren't fewer hurricanes.

Fewer in the early months, which allowed the waters to warm due to the lack of energy removal hurricanes and tropical cyclones provide.

Thus leaving all that energy for these two late storms.

Hurricane Milton is a WEATHER phenomenon , and has nothing to do with "climate". In fact, hurricanes are a common occurrence in the Florida region this time of year and always have been. Milton's appearance is consistent with the climate in that region in the fall.

sea surface temp is high for oct.

Record Hot Water Is Fueling Hurricane Milton​

Hurricane Milton gained strength over the Gulf of Mexico extremely quickly on Monday, going from a tropical storm to a Category 5 hurricane in under a day.

Much of that intensification was fueled by record warm ocean temperatures in the Gulf of Mexico. Global temperatures are rising long term because the burning of fossil fuels adds greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, helping trap heat near the planet’s surface.

Record Hot Water Is Fueling Hurricane Milton

Milton grew into a Category 5 hurricane in less than a day as it crossed warm oceans across the Gulf of Mexico.

www.nytimes.com

Milton checks pretty much all the boxes of a prototypical climate change fueled storm. It could be one of the worst hurricanes to hit the Gulf in a century. It intensified quickly, is immensely powerful, is expected to remain strong for a longer period of time, and follows a previously ferocious storm.

These types of events are becoming more frequent and more costly. The cost being partly due to population density and partly due to the severity of the storms.

Then again, Dementia Don says there will be more ocean front property when the sea level rises. Unfortunately, the opposite is true.

So now you're saying that Marjorie Taylor Greene is right and that mankind can control the weather/climate.

I truly wish you enlightened progressive liberals would make up your mind.

CHUCKLE

Milton actually looks downgraded from yesterday. Right now, it no longer has a well-defined eye wall.

Well we don't want to stop the hype now, it's up to a Category 8 or so isn't it??

Just tell them that Milton is God's punishment for supporting Trump. That has a better chance of getting through to their dumb asses.

Why didn't you predict it

After the event....windy, climate change, snowy, climate change, wet, climate change, blowy, climate change.

Give us a prediction.......fail

Hurricane Beryl was the earliest category 5 hurricane on record.

 

[martybegan]

Hurricane Beryl was the earliest category 5 hurricane on record.

And maybe next year there will be an earlier one, and maybe not.

 

[Delldude]

Hurricane Beryl was the earliest category 5 hurricane on record.

We have to link this to climate change somehow.

 

[Marener]

And maybe next year there will be an earlier one, and maybe not.

So your claim that there wasn’t hurricanes early to remove energy doesn’t seem to hold up to facts.

You keep doing gymnastics to avoid the obvious.
