Hurricanes and Tornadoes are Decreasing

...........but wind-ups are increasing in numbers and frequencies!!

[golfing eagles]

Hmmm....another weather/climate thread. Any guesses as to how many posts before it gets derailed and the mods close it????? I can already hear the hoofbeats of two notorious posters on this subject in the distance.......

[Two Bills]

Electric horses, of course!

Correct. That person has never met an internal combustion engine that he didn't hate :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Nothing wrong with your ears! Derailed? It started with a wobbly wheel so it shouldn't take too long. I watch with anticipation.

SUCH FUN!

9 full minutes. What took so long????? :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

I already sense the beginning of the end......

You might be right! I'm currently using a rollator. Not as quick as I once was. Recovery is a B. It is what it is. At least I still have my (morbid/sick) sense of humor.

Now, on which the show!

? No graphs

? No graphs

Sorry. I tried to create one, but it wouldn't save as I laid it out. Didn’t want to cut an paste. Wanted to create one just for you. Now, that should make you feel special, eh?

Amazing how a simple schedule announcement results in so many comments. How come we don't see as many posts when someone announces quilting meeting or an antique jewelry expo?
The only reason I can see to comment on an announcement is to ask if refreshments will be offered.....:icon_hungry:

I suggest that if you are fair minded attend the meeting and challenge the presenter with your data.

Really???? I think I've been pretty clear on dozens of threads on this subject that I 100% AGREE with the OP.

Will they ?

Are you sure?
Maybe 50 to 4,000,000,000 years ago our weather radar wasn't so good, and there weren't people in some areas to report it on Instagram.

When someone says that Hurricanes are decreasing. That is pretty ambiguous. By WHAT measure are they SUPPOSED (?) to be decreasing? Two basic measures would be frequency and intensity. The last thing that I have read is that hurricanes are predicted to increase in intensity, but maybe not in frequency. The logic behind the increase in intensity is Global Warming and the warming of all oceans of the world.
......In fact, I believe that I have read that there may soon be a need for a category SIX for Hurricanes because of expected INCREASED wind speeds due to the higher energy stored in the warmer ocean water.
.........Also, a point of discussion might be that the climate predictions of increased temperatures for the next 10 (or more ?) years does not seem to be believed (or never researched) by the INCREASED numbers of northerners that seem to be relocating recently to FLORIDA.
........Maybe they all plan on living in Florida in a special air conditioned suit to play Pickleball in during the summer. And maybe they hope to live in DOME houses to survive the strong hurricane winds on the coast and maybe here.

Simple graph with simple question ... why are hurricanes decreasing? Too much CO2?

Simple graph with simple question ... why are hurricanes decreasing? Too much CO2?
CO2 has the OPPOSITE effect - more CO2 increases Global Warming, which increases Hurricane STRENGTH.

CO2 has the OPPOSITE effect - more CO2 increases Global Warming, which increases Hurricane STRENGTH.

The data is clear ... Hurricanes are decreasing (regardless of strength), and those that come to the Weather Club will know why. In the meantime -- more CO2 actually helps reduce severe weather events -- which is why the media and climate alarmists fear this subject.

That's a confirmation bias link, since it makes claims without supporting data.

Looks like the gang is all here :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:
