Horary, yet another crazy prognostication from the cult. How many have we seen? More hurricanes, fewer hurricanes, fewer but more powerful, climate change causing trade winds to kill them in the Atlantic, category 6 hurricanes, more rainfall, less rainfall, more flooding, faster moving, slower moving. Remember when they said the big 2005 season would be the new normal, then the US went through it’s longest period since the Civil War era without a landfalling major hurricane? And even landfalling low level hurricanes barely happened for 10 years. The U.S. east and gulf coasts barely saw tropical storms make landfall. And now
Climate change may drive more hurricanes towards the US east coast
The winds that steer hurricanes may shift due to climate change, sending more storms over the eastern and southern coasts of the US. The change in wind patterns – driven by warmer waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean – could also make the storms stronger.
Each year, around 10 hurricanes form over the western Atlantic Ocean, but only two on average make landfall over the eastern US. Whether or not they do is decided by large-scale wind patterns around each storm. Models of how winds would change under various climate change scenarios have produced mixed results, and the limited record of actual storms making landfall shows no obvious trends of changes with warming so far.
So, they’re portending based on computer models that do not agree, but, going with the worst case scenario, which really has nothing to do with ‘climate change’ but, the potential for an El Nino in 2023. A completely natural occurrence, which happens off and on again and again and again. And scientists really do not understand why the Pacific flips between it and La Nina.
Karthik Balaguru at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory in Washington state and his colleagues have now used the latest climate models to simulate hurricane paths with warming under a high-emissions scenario.
They project that the number of hurricanes making landfall over the eastern US would increase by around 37 per cent by the end of the century, with the greatest increase over the Gulf of Mexico and the US east coast south of Virginia. They found there would be a small decrease in hurricanes making landfall further north.
Ah, so they are fortelling for the future. In just under 80 years. Because all the heralding from the Cult of Climastrology have worked out so well. If the news media had any work ethic, they would demand all these “scientists” declare what will happen over the next 5 years and see how close they can get, rather than let them get away with making prophesies 50-100 years in the future, when no one will remember them and no one can be held accountable for scaremongering.
