25 thoughts on “How climate change is changing hurricanes

  1. Propaganda. Windspeed overland throughout the Northern Hemisphere has been dropping in recent decades. Also the number of intense storms (below 960 mbars) in the Northern Atlantic has fallen sharply since 1990 (Tilinina et al, 2021).

  2. Propaganda. Multidecadal variability in Atlantic hurricaines is most probably related to the AMO (Vecchi et al, 2021). NOAA data 1851-2021 shows no trend in number of hurricaine landfalls with the record high being 1886. It makes no difference if you look at the Pacific. Using data from the JMA 1951-2022 we see typhoon activity trending downwards for over 7 decades.

  3. Propaganda. Globally the ACE index (accumulated cyclone energy) 1980-2021 shows no increasing trend. Global Hurricane Landfalls 1970-2021 (updated from Weinkle et al, 2012) shows no trend. Satellite data since 1980 shows a slight downward global trend for total hurricaine numbers with 2021 being a record low year.

  4. As the climate heads into greater extremes globally, how can we best deal with future climate crises?
    The short answer is that we cannot deal with them unless we take care of nature's inner balance.
    We live in a tightly-closed and interdependent system in which everything boomerangs back to us. While living in such a system, we need to reconsider what we want and think, and how we treat each other, because our human connections are the primary influence on how nature responds to us.
    It is common to think that climate is dependent on factors outside of us—whether it be balances between heat and cold in the environment, or the effects of various kinds of pollution we emit—because we lack a complete picture of how our attitudes to each other bring about the strongest responses from nature toward us.
    No creature distorts nature the way that we people do. And it is not simply a matter of switching to renewable energy sources, electric cars and the like; it is a matter of how we relate to each other.
    If we truly wish to witness more balance throughout nature and not have to deal with all kinds of cold waves and other natural disasters, then similarly to how we have electricity, water and gas meters in our homes, we should also have meters that count how much evil we emit into the world from our negative attitudes to each other. What I mean is that if we could feel the extent to which we emit negative forces into the world, which negatively ricochet back to us, then we would wish to change this negative driver within us. We would want to switch it to a drive that makes our human connections positive, and which harmonizes us with nature.
    In simple terms, when we get up in the morning, we should first and foremost consider what we need to do in order for all people to have it good. Developing such an attitude is not so simple, yet we will need to seriously work on it as we head into the future. A life of increasing blows from nature or a life of peace and harmony depends on the extent to which we impact a shift in our attitudes to each other—from negative to positive.

  5. What I find the most horrible about the weather channel is it can be a tragedy and you are watching it unfold, but they are going to show 2 commercials to capitalize of the devastation … shame

  6. The Weather Channel is a complete failure. You are so incompetent at predicting the weather now I can not use you as you are the opposite of reality. I do t know what happened over the years but you ability to deliver a local forecast is trash and and it's the truth.

  7. Today is 6-20-2023 . It's 2 in the morning and I clearly heard you say Texas will experience 120 degree temperature . You need to be ban from the air waves . Your an ignorant human being .

  8. Your ability to accurately forecast the weather is so seriously flawed it’s incredible you would actually be paid to do it. So bad in fact, that it’s like “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” and when you just happen to be correct, no one will take you seriously.

  9. The people on weather channel look like there super fat and 5ft. wide and 3ft. tall. Just like the screen size on our tv's, and it sucks. You need to go back to original size that looks normal, and fills the tv screen right.

  10. I love how they forecasts chance of rain 5% then it comes a downpour and all of a sudden it jumps to 70%. They can't forecast same day correctly let alone a few days ahead

  11. Well this did not age well. The Expensive Models are very wrong. 1886 was a year that had the most cat 1 or greater hurricanes. 7 hurricanes. That record still stands today. How? The earth only had a population of around 2 billion humans. Hurricanes are a fact of nature in the northern hemisphere and the uniqueness of the Gulf of Mexico creating the Gulf Stream. Not Man Made in the Least.

  12. Im from miami, florida. Non-affiliated with politics, the weather sure is unpredictable. It is hot and humid year round and rains heavily throughout the summer. However, the ocean sea levels have not risen since i was born. Sure there are occasional tidal floods but today the coasts are the same. Yeah cold weather has happened a few times like christmas day 2022, january 2010 or january 2008. Hurricanes had struck miami or south forida several times in my life like Katrina or Wilma. They sure were powerful storms. i only believe climate change for a few reasons, it has happened before naturally and its happening again because earth is heading to a warming trend at the end of the Milankovitch cycle, or the sunspot cycle is peaking. If anything, the sun itself is reaching the end of its life cycle. Humans are only around for a quarter of million years. How could the industrial revolution resulted is a consistent warming of earth since the 1800s? I feel like people are taking this topic the wrong way. Humans don't control the weather.

  13. How come modern Hurricane seasons count every fish storm as a named storm? Then like to hype the climate change and MMGW blaming that shame for more storms. 1886 was a record year for the books. Total storms 12, of those Hurricanes accounted for 10, of those 10, 4 were Major Hurricanes (Cat. 3+ or higher. Also there could have been many Fish storms not recorded because No Radar, No Satellites and if no shipping lanes were affected, no one to report any. At that time the entire earth had a population of less than 2 billion people. So if modern weather bureau’s want to say MMGW/Climate causes more storms, then explain 1886. Oh, I see, your government funding will dry up if you don’t push the hype or debunk it with meteorological historical facts. Shameful.
