Hurricanes on CNN? Fake News!

[Berzerker]

Hundreds of Americans and thousands of humans have died over the last 12 years because Atlantic hurricanes have been powerful and numerous.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_deadliest_Atlantic_hurricanes

Gotta go back to 2005 for Katrina... So, how many would have died if we were getting hit by cat 5 hurricanes every year or 3? They still might not make the list, Katrina was partly self-inflicted.

And for the last 20 or so years, including the last 12, there has indeed been an uptick in the number of hurricanes and the number of powerful hurricanes. The theory doesn't say anything about where those hurricanes will happen to strike.

Not in our neck of the woods. If the theory doesn't say anything about where they hit, why assume we'll be hit more often with bigger storms? Isn't that the assumption? So yes, a 12 year lull is relevant.

Hurricane activity isn't picking up. It's been steadily high since 1995. If it takes us being hit by a couple high wind speed ones to remind us of the fact that hurricanes have been here the whole time, causing death and destruction, well what a ****ty ****ing country we are.

Its picking up in the USA... Thats why Bill Maher was hoping "climate change deniers" lived in Irma's path. He sounds like one of these religious fundamentalists who welcome mother nature's (God's) wrath on the sinners.

Here you go:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4525293/

our analyses suggest that interdecadal hurricane activity was subdued during the warm mean climatic state of the MCA. It subsequently became more pronounced during the LIA and, after a brief transitional state characterised by enhanced variability between 1850 and 1900, then returned to a more subdued state during the late industrial period (1950–2010), an episode of distinct climatic warming probably triggered by a combination of anthropogenic activity and a positive phase of the AMO³⁷. Remarkably, the interdecadal behaviour of hurricane activity does not appear to persist as strongly during the warmer mean climatic states of the last millennium

Atlantic hurricane activity declined during the warm trend a 1,000-700 years ago (and might help explain the collapse of the Maya and Anasazi/Fremont), then increased during the little ice age 700-200 years ago, and decreased again over the last 60 years. Why is that? I suspect its because cyclones require contrast, and there's less contrast when the higher latitudes warm up more in comparison to lower latitudes. Thats why our tornado seasons occur as warm southern air collides with cooler northern air during spring and fall instead of summer when more heat reaches the northern plains. We can watch tornadoes migrate north and south with the sun as the conflict zone migrates.

Bill Maher wont be telling us about that research

[Kidlicious]

There was a time
When I was so close minded
News wasn't much, of a friend of mine
The tables have turned, yeah
Cause me and ignorance parted
That kind of news, was the Breitbart kind

Now listen
All I want, is some news I can't resist
I get, all I, need to know, from the CNN anchor desk

I was denying when I met you ...
Now climate agreeing with you
Your news is all ... about Nazis
The weather was fine when I met you
Now we're drowning in typhoons
Do what you do - news to me

Now there's not even breathing room
Between Harvey and Irma
Yeah, you cry when we're warming seas
Must be the coolaid

It's down on me
Yeah I got to tell you one thing
It's been on my mind
CNN, I gotta say
We're partners in crime
You got that liberal info
What you give to me
Takes me blinders away
Now the word out on the net
Is the Nazis in Charlottesville
If Trump keeps fanning the flames
It's a fire we can't resist

People say never go full ****** but damn. I'm owned.

Gotta go back to 2005 for Katrina... So, how many would have died if we were getting hit by cat 5 hurricanes every year or 3? They still might not make the list, Katrina was partly self-inflicted.

No, you don't.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlant...e_season#2000s

Since 2005, hundreds of Americans and thousands of humans have died from Atlantic hurricanes. Hurricanes don't often annihilate cities; events like Katrina are outliers always. Instead, they cause flooding, fell trees, gut buildings... and all of that leads to some death. Despite no category 4 or 5 hurricane making landfall in the US since 2005, large, powerful, deadly hurricanes have still been striking the US and killing people, and it's been about as bad during the last 12 years as it's been since 1995 when hurricane activity picked up. Outside the US, where the always rarer category 4 and 5 hurricanes happen to have been hitting recently, it's been particularly bad. Across the world, where there are other types of cyclones driven by warm water, tens of thousands have died.

Not in our neck of the woods. If the theory doesn't say anything about where they hit, why assume we'll be hit more often with bigger storms? Isn't that the assumption? So yes, a 12 year lull is relevant.

When there simply aren't a lot of category 4 or 5 hurricanes period, especially compared to hurricanes with lower wind speeds, it's not all that unusual for a particular geographic region to not be struck by them for a little bit. There's a lot that goes into a hurricane's movement that is unpredictable and thus essentially random to us. Look at the fact that we didn't know if Irma was going up the west or east coast of Florida basically until it was happening. If there are a greater number of more powerful hurricanes, and the odds of us being struck by any particular one are about the same as they always were, we should be more worried.

Its picking up in the USA... Thats why Bill Maher was hoping "climate change deniers" lived in Irma's path. He sounds like one of these religious fundamentalists who welcome mother nature's (God's) wrath on the sinners.

You won't ever see me defend anything Bill Maher says or does.

Hurricanes on CNN? Fake News!

From what I saw they were all recorded in the very same studios where they filmed the moon landings

[BeBMan]

Also, couple days ago at CNN they had a reporter at the scene with lotsa rain and wind who was like "People it's dangerous here! Don't stay, leave/evacuate!"

Yeah sure, but the liberal media elite can report from there...

[Kidlicious]

From what I saw they were all recorded in the very same studios where they filmed the moon landings

CNN wasn't around back then dude.

[BeBMan]

No but "they". Everyone knows that "they" are always around.

[Kidlicious]

Nazis?

[rah]

Jeeze, could you get anymore incoherent? Kidiot.

[Kidlicious]

Jeeze, could you get anymore incoherent? Kidiot.

Holocaust denier?

[rah]

I guess the answer to my question is indeed YES.

[Berzerker]

No, you don't.

You ignored my link and posted something else - thou builder of straw men

Since 2005, hundreds of Americans and thousands of humans have died from Atlantic hurricanes.

Yeah, you said that... And we still have to go back to Katrina for the last deadly storm on my list...

it's been about as bad during the last 12 years as it's been since 1995 when hurricane activity picked up.

Not according to the death totals from your link, 2004-5 saw more deaths than the entire 12 years since

it's not all that unusual for a particular geographic region to not be struck by them for a little bit.

But it is unusual when we do get hit after such a quiet period? My link shows over the last 1,000 years hurricane activity increased during cooling trends and decreased during warming trends. Explain that.

[Kidlicious]

I guess the answer to my question is indeed YES.

Stop trying to gas light me psychopathic holocaust denier.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Kid - a point for repeated attempts at humor - but comedy usually works on the shock of recognition. Where is the twist in that last -a follow-up to the holocaust denier accusation, which actually displayed a smidgen of wit- surprise me if you want to make me laugh. Humor in trolling = style, so do keep trying.
