The media crisis industrial complex runs non-stop.

And the public still falls for it.

But aren't hurricanes, which we've had none of this year, considered "severe weather"?


Lol, are we just conveniently ignoring the overly active pacific typhoons this year and the extreme wind shear from the hottest El Nino ever recorded?

Just because we haven't seen storms locally does not mean the rest of the world has not been impacted.

A typical full-year Western Pacific typhoon season averages about 25 to 32 tropical cyclones, with roughly 16 to 18 reaching typhoon intensity. With the peak months concluding through the fall, 2026 is on track to finish near or slightly above normal in total storm count.


So the Pacific is around average and elsewhere is well below average. But you just said severe weather is getting worse because of the warming planet.

The 2026 data says that's not an accurate statement.

ETA: Let's play this out a bit though. Let's assume 1) The planet is warming and (the big one) 2) that humans are to blame for some or all of it.

What would YOU do to solve the problem? In your response, please consider everyone, including China, India, etc in addition to what you'd like to see done in the US. China is permitting about 2 new coal plants per week so I would think it's critical you address them.

Socrates would say that anything that is said to be the cause of everything is surely the cause of nothing.

So are we just going to ignore the last 30 years of data because we have the strongest el nino on record this year?


Yes, since you’re apparently going to ignore what a ridiculously small fraction of Time that is in earth’s existence.

I have no idea how to solve this issue, I am not an expert on this. My argument in this thread is only to acknowledge that the data is clear that the earth is heating up and storms are getting worse. Denying this fact puts us further from getting the actual experts the resources needed to solve this issue.

Wouldn't you want better weather, less storms, and lower insurance?

I like how you skipped my post showing the data is suspect because the methods and methodology have changed considerably
