class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the 25 highlighted entries on NOAA\u2019s \u201cSelected Significant Climate Events\u201d diagram 13 are related to cyclone and hurricane&nbsp;events across the various oceans of the Northern and Southern hemispheres that occurred during the year 2023. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These 13 highlighted isolated events suggest that 2023 experienced many extreme weather hurricane and cyclone events that will no doubt be hyped by climate alarmists with flawed claims of \u201cextreme hurricane and cyclone climate events\u201d having occurred in year 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, the context of these highlighted events fails to provide a complete and comprehensive global history of the cyclone and hurricane tropical events for the year 2023 with these NOAA highlighted events grossly misrepresenting the totality of the year 2023 cyclone and hurricane outcomes across the global oceans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Provided below is data from the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/tropical.atmos.colostate.edu\/Realtime\/\">Colorado State University Department&nbsp;of Atmospheric Science Tropical Meteorology Project<\/a>&nbsp;that addresses in full and complete detail (access the Basin Archives global oceans data base) the historical tropical cyclone statistics for year 2023 across all the global oceans along with comparisons provided of the year 2023 outcomes with prior decades of recorded annual hurricane and cyclone data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The graphs below reflect data regarding the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) for each year indicated with this metric representing the complete annual energy resulting from all storms experienced with the total duration and intensity determining each storm\u2019s total ACE contribution.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first graph provides the year 2023 Global historical cyclone ACE outcome compared to ACE data for the last 44-year inclusive period going back to 1980.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img
