2022-09-06 -Signs, Portents, and the Weather-
C'mon, Hurricanes, Get With the Program!
[Townhall] The Weather Channel notified us on August 31 that "Rare Hurricane Season August Shutout Possible." Really. "August is one of the core months of [the] Atlantic hurricane season." But none this August. Only once since 1966 has there been a failure of a least one tropical storm to develop in the year’s eighth month.

A few days prior to the publication of this article, the Weather Channel told us, "Atlantic Gets Busier; 4 Areas to Track Now." Please! We need a hurricane to confirm that such climate disasters are indeed increasing like we say they are! A few dead bodies are imperative! But, no fear, climate activists, "the long-slumbering Atlantic Basin is finally showing signs of waking up." "Many quiet-start seasons have ended up busy."

Hopefully, this year we’ll get a big hurricane or two yet that will smack the USA, kill a few million people, and prove those climate-deniers don’t know what they are talking about.
We should be so lucky, if it hit NYC or DC.
But, you know, maybe there is something to this global warming stuff after all. As one commentator wrote, "Snows are less frequent and less deep. They often do not lie below the mountains more than one, two, or three days and very rarely a week. They are remembered to be formerly frequent, deep, and of long continuance. The elderly inform me that the earth used to be covered with snow about three months every year. The rivers, which then seldom failed to freeze over in the course of the winter, scarcely ever do now. This changes...in the spring of the year is very fatal to fruits...I remember that when I was a small boy, say 60 years ago, snows were frequent and deep in every winter."

Proof, if any was ever needed, that the planet is disastrously warming.

Oh, wait a minute. That was written by Thomas Jefferson in 1799.

#1 Hurricane in E Pacific is likely to bring some badly needed rain to Southern CA late this week.

#3 
A quick google shows they have updated this prediction at least 3 times. Each sticking to the same factually wrong initial statement.

Again, we need to ask why are Weather Guessers even taken semi-seriously beyond 10 days, let alone 10 years regarding Climate Whatever?

But a great example on why NOAA is NOT an authority on long range climate issues, given their <60% win ratio beyond 30 days.

#4 Maybe not a hurricane but the big rainstorm in the northeast might as well be.

#5 Think of all the money The Weather Channel™ is losing with the 'No Shows'

#6 Now wait a g-d damn minute. Do you mean to tell me that climate change is the reason for no hurricanes?
