Show us how these charts will cause: "catastrophic global warming within the next ten years."

Many climatologists, without agendas, be they grants, funding or fame, say Earth AND us can take MUCH more temperature rise and NOT 
be catastrophic.

We've been here up to 1 million years, some say, so we've been through warmer times and we're still here.

Show us proof of "catastrophic warming" that was supposed to happen decades ago.  

We were all supposed to freeze our asses off following the 70s, too, which WOULD have been MORE catastrophic than the little 
warming we're seeing, but THAT never happened, and screaming meemees like you, were all up in arms.

I'd have been in heaven, as my metabolism is rather high, so a colder clime would have been wunnerful!

And since YOU pivoted (went off-topic)... I will too.

Where Are The Hurricanes?

2025 Season Starts Off Quiet Despite Stormy Outlook


The Brief

The 2025 hurricane season has had an unusually quiet start, with no storms so far.
Stable air from ocean temperature patterns and Saharan dust are likely causes.
Despite this, forecasts still call for an active season.

ORLANDO, Fla. - As we head toward late-June, our hurricane season typically heats up. In fact, we're coming up on the one-year 
anniversary of the development of Hurricane Beryl - the earliest Category 5 in Atlantic history! 

Beryl was also the second named system of the season. But this year? We've yet to even have a tropical depression form, much less a 
tropical storm. So what gives?

It's been crickets quiet.

The backstory:

The Atlantic basin, which includes the Gulf and Caribbean, has broken a decade-long streak of busy starts. In fact, June 1-20 in 
the last 10 years has produced at least one storm, the Washington Post reported. That alone makes this the slowest start in a 
decade, and we have little chance to see any meaningful development in the Atlantic through the end of June.

In a bigger scope, it's been really quiet across all ocean basins in the Northern Hemisphere. As of mid-May - before the eastern 
Pacific activated with now the fifth named storm - 2025 would share a spot with only five other seasons since the mid-20th century 
when the entire Northern Hemisphere was free of named systems. These years were 1973,1983,1984,1998, and 2024. This, according to 
Colorado State University Meteorologist Dr. Phil Klotzbach.
Does this mean a slower season?

Dig deeper:

That said, this may not be an indication we're going to enjoy a slower hurricane season. In fact, the major hurricane seasonal 
forecasters are still gunning for a slightly above-normal hurricane season. As always in risk assessment, it's critically important 
to consider that even in the slowest years, it only takes one landfalling hurricane to make for the "worst season".

NOAA Deputy Director Jamie Rhode weighs in on the National Hurricane Center (NHC) using artificial intelligence to track 
hurricanes.

Hurricane Andrew in 1992 was a case in point, being that season's FIRST named system not happening until Mid-August, but slamming 
South Florida as a major hurricane and forever changing life here, setting a benchmark in both disaster management and building 
codes.

However, delayed starts don't necessarily mean a quiet season. Consider 2005, which started slowly with the first hurricane not 
forming until Cindy in early July. The season would ultimately produce a record 28 named systems, including historic Cat. 5's 
Hurricane Katrina and Rita.

Why the delay?

What we know:

Ironically, one element may be due to warmer than normal waters in the subtropical oceans closely matching slightly cooler than 
normal to near-normal waters in the tropical oceans, reducing the wind gradient between the temperatures change zones, according to 
Ben Noll, tropical expert. 

When one thinks of "warmer water", it would be logical to conclude this might mean more fuel for hurricanes, but in this context, 
it actually leads to more stable air and less thunderstorm formation as the temperature contrast is lower. Fewer thunderstorms mean 
less chance for tropical systems to organize.

A second factor: unusual busy bursts of Saharan dust have also been pushed into the Atlantic, producing much more stable air than 
otherwise over the zones conducive to otherwise support tropical development. That may help to further reduce the intensity of 
tropical waves.

Big picture view:

Other factors are at work too, making for a quiet start, but this crawl to the line doesn't necessarily mean the pattern will hold. 
Even if this trend continues like it did in 1992 with just six named tropical systems total (when typically we see 14 named 
storms), it only takes a hurricane like Andrew (Aug. 1992) to change life in its landfall zone for a long time.

This year, with seasonal forecasts remaining bullish for a higher storm count, we may be faced with several powerful tropical 
systems.
