Was hurricane Ian a perfect example of the way hurricane seasons will change as the world warms? Both climate models and the laws of physics are clear: more greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere means warmer air and oceans, which means more energy for bigger, stronger hurricanes. So why is it that we haven’t seen a clear signal from climate change in the hurricane record over the last century? This episode explores groundbreaking research on this question and looks ahead at what we can expect in the coming decades.
Hurricane Ian is the first major, landfalling hurricane of the 2022 season, and this has many scratching their heads. Does this cast doubt on the assumption that global warming will lead to bigger, stronger storms? Tune in to find out what leading climate scientists have to say on the matter!
Weathered is a show hosted by weather expert Maiya May and produced by Balance Media that helps explain the most common natural disasters, what causes them, how they’re changing, and what we can do to prepare.

How did y’all know about hurricane Ian 2 months before it happened 🤔🤔
"This is going to be an above average year for named storms", gets one storm and now climate change is changing the seasons hahahhahahah give me a break
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha….does anyone STILL believe this utter bull?
Hurricane Ian is a perfect example of the fine art of weather modification used to keep the masses in fear so a totalitarian one world government will come and save the day as the powers that be strip away what’s little left of our civil rights.
Im from the Philippines. And typhoons are basically a regular occurance here. Although I noticed that the number of typhoons that we get are in a slight decline but boy do they pack more punch. When I was young it's usually just Signal # 1-2. But nowadays, signal number 3-4 are more common.
Recorded Hurricanes hitting Florida = 124 (Year 1851 to Year 2022)
wikipedia – List_of_United_States_hurricanes
1851 – 1859 = 8
1860 – 1869 = 3
1870 – 1879 = 12
1880 – 1889 = 11
1890 – 1899 = 9
1900 – 1909 = 7
1910 – 1919 = 9
1920 – 1929 = 9
1930 – 1939 = 7
1940 – 1949 = 10
1950 – 1959 = 5
1960 – 1969 = 8
1970 – 1979 = 3
1980 – 1989 = 3
1990 – 1999 = 6
2000 – 2009 = 8
2010 – 2019 = 4
2020 – 2022 = 2 (So far)
Total 124
Since 1970 – 2019 Total Hurricanes hitting Florida = 24 (Avg per Decade is "Almost" 5)
From 1920 – 1969 Total Hurricanes hitting Florida = 39 (Avg per Decade is "Almost" 8)
Most ACTIVE 30 Year Span for Hurricanes Hitting Florida is 1870 – 1899, Total = 32 (Avg OVER 10 per Decade)
If you go from 1950 to 2022 and Compare "BEFORE" Global Warming (1860 – 1949), the amount of Hurricanes Per Decade has been cut in "Almost Half"…HOW CAN THIS BE???
Number of Hurricanes hitting Florida do NOT match up with Global Warming…PLEASE go check the numbers your self.
***Slightly Down??? Hurricanes are down between 1/3 to 1/2…numbers do not lie.
Hurricanes are powerful, but they are VERY Important. The fill up lakes and reservoirs, which enable humans to have Drinking Water and Water to enjoy.
It’s 2 months later and Hurricane Ian will be making landfall tomorrow here in Florida.
The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1 to November 30. The Atlantic basin includes the Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. Based on a 30-year climate period from 1991 to 2020, an average Atlantic hurricane season has 14 named storms, 9 so far, 7 hurricanes, 4 so far, and 3 major hurricanes (Category 3, 4, or 5), 2 so far.
1:17 today with Hurricane Ian… wait a sec, how does a video from 3 months ago have the name "Hurricane Ian" in the title???? o.0
What is it that strengthens a hurricane from category 3 to category 4? A large part of the story is the warmer water that provides energy to the storm. And of course warmer water is a feature of a warming planet. Actual, real-life measurements based on both land- and satellite-based instruments taken over many decades now show a decade by decade trend in rising global average temperatures. So the TREND, on average, would be a higher probability of stronger hurricanes and other extreme weather events. A shorthand summary would go something like this:
It’s pretty simple.
A warming planet causes WORSE WEATHER EXTREMES: …
Warmer air & water => (leading to) stronger hurricanes, more humidity, heavier rain, and heavier floods.
Hotter air & topsoil => more heatwaves, more evaporation, more drought, and more wildfires.
Hotter Arctic => less ice, less albedo (reflectivity), much less ice.
That's the way it works. It is simple physics.
The evidence can be seen worldwide. Expect more of the same, only worse.
BTW, it's not about exactly when the worst hurricanes happened in the past. It's about the increasing frequency and average strength of damaging hurricanes going forward, and that's largely determined by increasing ocean temperatures. As hurricanes get stronger, more and more total accumulated damage to people and property will occur. Some category twos will become category 3. Some category threes will become category 4. The chances of a very first category 6 increase.
I call BS! The facts are these … in the last 57 years, 6 storms of this intensity have hit this part of Florida. Compare that to the prior 50 years, where that number was 16. My math says that 6 is far less than 16. Stop using made up science and fake data that you make up to support your narrative.
Did the uploader change the title because no way they predicted IAN or talked about it
It amazes me that the effects of volcanic eruptions are not mentioned in this study, we have had significant events which has placed particles that will actually cool our planet.
your headline suggests we should doubt climate change. this is, at best, unhelpful.
It’s because nibiru started altering the planets axis so super rich people sent out satellites to see if the old planet from Sumerian tales was real. They found it way back in the 80s and the cosmonauts studying it said back in 08 it wouldn’t get bad on earth till about 2020…
How was this posted in July but Hurricane Ian hit September 28th?
If you change the title so much then atleast make it clear that you did!
Great info…
She is gorgeous…just saying lol
日本人がこのコメントに気付いたら、このPBS Terraの動画を2年ほど遡って見て欲しい。
このチャンネルは的確な情報と、これから悪化する異常気象のイメージが判ると思う。
事実今年1月にはいち早くジェット気流の変動を取り上げ、この動画も7月6日でIANが発生する前の投稿です。
最近日本では視聴率が悪いのか環境問題や異常気象の番組が極端に減り、情報番組の１コーナーに取り上げるかどうかになって多くの若い世代が気候変動が加速している事の実感がない。
私は40年前に科学雑誌で真鍋叔郎博士の論文を知り、以降仕事でも個人的にも省エネに取り組んでいますが今年の異常気象は当時の予測より約20年早くなっている。
その要因は当時のシュミレーションには無かったと思われる山火事の灰が氷河に付着して太陽光の反射率が下がったり、海水温の上昇でCO2が十分に溶けない、若しくは逆に海からCO2が排出されているとか、以前discoveryで地軸が傾いたとNASAが調べたそうなので、今はこれらすべて複合して気候変動が加速していると思います。
当時の科学雑誌には温室効果ガスで気温上昇が発生し、その次に昆虫の減少と食糧危機が起こると記載されており、これも先日DWで昆虫が減少していると報じていたので今行動しなければ本当に危険です。
（DWの動画では温暖化よりも街灯の影響や農薬が原因としている）
海に囲まれた日本では極端な異常気象が少ないからだと思うが先進国で一番環境問題の意識が低いようなので、多くの日本人に見て欲しい。
The date on your video says July 5 2022 but Ian happened in September. I’m confused.
Climate change. A natural process earth goes through. Think about it. Long time ago earth was frozen after the dinosaurs burnt up. So relax enjoy life. 😉
Pull your head out . Stop listening to this nonsense fear mongering democrats.
the fact u predicted the future 2 months before ian
honestly anyone who need explanation that stronger does not = more frequent has very little hope
1:17 I'm from Charlotte County, Florida… I felt that…..
when was the worst hurriccane dont know it was in 1778 killed 20000 plus people look it up if do not belive me dont think buring of fossel fuels caused it
We are and will continue to get colder!
If you want people to hear this message, TURN DOWN the HORRIBLE, DEPRESSING "MUSIC".
Do I live in an area at risk of hurricanes? I live in the typhoon belt!
