re: A hurricane finally forms in the Caribbean this year, and its due to climate change

Probably something to do with Trump's strikes on the drug cartels.

calling for 13 to 18 named storms, 5 to 9 hurricanes, and 2 to 5 major hurricanes.

one year this will be true and then the rest of these terrible predictions will be forgotten and the media will run the story 24/7 for the following 5 years

If Melissa is the last named storm of the season, it actually looks like they nailed it this year
Melissa is the 13th named storm of the year
Melissa is expected to be the 5th hurricane
Melissa is expected to be the 4th major hurricane

I assume this good fortune means you're gonna throw one hell of an OT cookout in a couple weeks?

We should. We have about 3500# of canned goods that expire in January and February. If we dont have a bad fall tornado or something I guess our local soup kitchen will get it.

We have joked about just going to Louisiana and serving as if a storm came.




That would be the best way. See a bunch of great people and nobody is having to cleanup, cut trees or tarp houses.

If we played yall in Baton Rouge, we could do a huge tailgate.

We are in the process of getting quotes to build us a second mobile kitchen so we can double up our efforts (we would serve in 2 different cities). Those things arent cheap... Ranging from $150,000-$210,000.

Too many hurricanes = climate change
Not enough hurricanes = climate change
Big hurricanes = climate change
Small hurricanes = climate change
No hurricanes? You guessed it. climate change

World governments have active geoengineering programs, private companies engage in licensed weather modification programs, but yes the consumers carbon emissions cause bad weather.

I moved to Miami in 1968. They were always talking about eventually getting hit by "The Big One". I lived in South Florida 24 years before ever being effected by ANY hurricane - that being Hurricane Andrew in 1992. Hell, in 1990 not a single tropical storm even made landfall in the US.

There is no denyiong the increase in intensity of Atlantic Basin hurricanes over the past 5 decades.

You tell me what fuels hurricanes if it isn't warmer sea surface temperatures.

We had 3 near misses here in Tampa last year.

I didn't lose power for any of them.

The amount of hype the weather people do over hurricanes is ridiculous. They are very bad around the eye and if you are on the coast where the surge comes. But otherwise I've been through thunderstorms in the south east that were way fricking worse.

They let people think any part of the clouds of the hurricane means you're getting bad weather. Not the case at all.

Worst part is having to spend all week telling family members I'm going to be fine.

Can you explain how that is due to "man-made" climate change?
