The storm of hype, lies, censorship – and reality – that emerges with that?

Politicized hurricanes and climate science cause distrust, green energy and economic disaster

Paul Driessen

Hurricane Ian has gone down in the history books, unleashing a Category 4 rampage over southwestern Florida. Even as the area is gradually excavated and rebuilt, the devastation and tragedies will linger in reality and memory.

Ian is the latest of 123 hurricanes to hit the Sunshine State since official recordkeeping began in 1851. But it’s not surprising that some wasted no time trying to link them up. link Ian to the most dominant issue of our time.

Climate change is “rapidly accelerating superstorms,” ​​a Washington Post headline claimed. “I grow up [in Florida] and these storms are strengthening,” emphasized CNN’s Don Lemon. Correspondent Morgan McFall-Johnsen asserts that rising temperatures in the atmosphere and ocean are making storms “stronger, slower and wetter”. Many commentators argue that they are becoming more frequent and more intense.

Ian should have “finally ended” the debate on “whether there is climate change,” announced President Biden, as he assessed the damage along Florida’s Gulf Coast with the Governor and First Lady DeSantis.

The latest fear shift is a bit more complicated. Now, hurricanes are gaining strength more quickly, because of fossil fuels. This phenomenon even has a fancy name: “rapid enhancement”.

This clever claim cannot be proven or disproved, because we don’t have the technology to measure how quickly certain hurricanes were even decades ago. But for climate-obsessed White House and Deep State officials, news and social media campaigners, and those seeking academic and corporate funding, it’s a different truth. disputable.

It certainly enhances climate propaganda efforts and promotes anti-fossil fuel, pro-wind and solar agendas. But are these “rapid ramping up” and other claims supported by actual evidence?

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) offers a rich, helpful resource: Complete records of all storms attack on the continental United States (landing), 1851-2021. It provides fascinating insights, revealing surprising things in the short term and continuously cyclebut does not provide data to support claims about any trendsuch as more frequent and intense, or stronger, slower and wetter.

Among its revelations is the sheer number of hurricanes – hundreds of storms, many hitting multiple states before dissipating, returning to strike other less fortunate states, or heading back out to sea. to the large islands of the Caribbean or the Atlantic Ocean. Florida appears to be affected more often than any other state.

Also surprising is the number of times New York and the other Upper Atlantic States were defeated. “Super Storm” Sandy (2012) are hardly classified as Category 1, but the State and City of NY have been devastated and flooded by hurricanes and floods since 1869, including both Category 3s, in 1954 and 1985.

Another northern polar cyclone, Fiona (barely a Category 2 when it made landfall in Nova Scotia on September 24), was quickly billed as Canada’s “strongest and most expensive tornado on record” . It can be expensive – for the same reason as the hurricanes of the United States today: extensive and costly development along the coastlines. But the powerful Newfoundland hurricane of 1775 caused storm surges of up to 30 feet and killed more than 4,000 people; it remains Canada’s deadliest natural disaster.

Back at the southernmost tip of the United States, Florida has been completely impacted by 5 Category 4 hurricanes, 2 Category 3 hurricanes, 1 Category 2 hurricane, and 4 Category 1 hurricanes in just 6 years. Thankfully, it was October 1944 to October 1950, before coastal development took place. But the human damage is still terrible.

Imagine those twelve hurricanes punishing the Gulf and Atlantic coasts of the state today. It can happen.

Florida has been bogged down again more recently – with a category 2, a category 4 and six Category 3 storm makes landfall only 15 months: August 2004-October 2005. Some call it an uptrend (certainly due to global warming). However, not a storm of any magnitude hit Florida in later time eleven years. (Is it important?) downtrend Also due to human climate change? Or must we reuse liberal double standards?)

Even more surprising, in the nearly twelve years between Wilma (Florida, 3rd, October 2005) and Harvey (Texas, 4th place, August 2017), two weeks later Irma (Florida, Category 4) – Not a single Category 3-5 “major” hurricane has hit the US mainland, anywhere. It was an all-time record, surpassing the previous nine-year record, set in 1860-1869.

Equally amazing, the United States did not experience a Category 5 hurricane until 1935. The next three hurricanes occurred in 1969, 1992 and 2018. All but Camille hit Florida. Either these monsters really didn’t exist before 1935, or we couldn’t measure wind speeds above 156 mph until the 1930s.

NOAA Records Revealed and Experts Liked Roger Pielke, Jr. can find, no uptrend on storm frequency or intensity. Have cycle consists of many severe storms, interspersed with periods of little or no major hurricane, or any storm at all. But there is no clear trend. (Power of epics Nueva Senora de Atocha Mel Fisher’s famous storm of 1622 is anyone’s guess.)

But because of hyperbolic storms and other climate crisis allegories, we must give up fossil fuels that make up 80 percent of the energy the United States and the world require to keep our factories, homes, and plants afloat. our doors, our hospitals and our standard of living; providing us with affordable food, fortified homes, early warning systems and vehicles with enough fuel to get us out of harm’s way and rescue those trapped in the water flood.

Michael Bloomberg is currently funding an $85 million campaign to end petrochemical production in U.S.A! That would force us to do without or import stockpiles of animal feed for nitrogen fertilizers, makeup, paints, pharmaceuticals, synthetic clothing and plastics for toys, cars, ships boats, medical equipment, packaging, Solar power panels – and wind turbine blades and nacelles. Even the frame on the Glock and Springfield pistols that Bloomberg private security guards carry is of petrochemical origin.

(Bloomberg also assumes that you only Drop seeds on the groundadd water, they grow and you eat.)

About the utopia without fossil fuels – how many thousands of wind turbinesDoes Florida alone need millions of solar panels and millions of battery backup modules to power its economy? How many of them can survive the fierce winds of Ian, Andrew or Michael? How many years will it take to replace them then? How many EVs and battery backup will spontaneous combustion when they were submerged in flood water, causing unprecedented trouble for the firefighters?

We can build gas turbines and nuclear power plants to withstand these natural fuels – and we won’t need many of them. How do we strengthen the pervasive “renewable, sustainable” energy systems?

So while filling up your gas tank, reviewing your grocery bills, and thinking about how much money is left in your retirement savings, you may want to listen to Joe Biden and John Kerry less — and more. more from real experts like Joe D’Aleo, Joe Bastard, Stanley GoldenbergRoger Pielke, Jr. – and Miami’s National Hurricane Center Jamie Rhomewhom Don Lemon tried to link climate change to Ian.

The Biden White House and the United Nations Intergovernmental politicized climate cabal (IPCC) cannot abide by that. They want to monopolize the conversation, impose their climate and energy agenda, and silence anyone who challenges them.
