From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

By Paul Homewood<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More lies from the BBC:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hurricane Milton is heading towards Florida, bringing “potentially catastrophic” winds, storm surges and heavy rainfall, American forecasters have warned.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storm is due to hit the heavily-populated city of Tampa Bay less than two weeks after the state was badly hit by Hurricane Helene.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Milton is the ninth hurricane of the 2024 Atlantic season, which continues until the end of November.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/world-us-canada-42251921<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Being the BBC though, they just could not resist the usual disinformation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is what the IPCC actually say:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In other words, there is no evidence of trends either in the frequency or intensity of hurricanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The IPCC also state:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It is generally accepted that Atlantic hurricanes tend to be weaker during the cold phase of the AMO, which ran from the 1970s to 90s. But clearly the longer term data, which extends back to the 19thC, trumps any shorter term data, particularly given the known ocean cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOAA are even more explicit about this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

https:\/\/www.gfdl.noaa.gov\/global-warming-and-hurricanes\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Yet there is no mention of the longer term trends by the BBC. Nor is there mention of this very clear statement from NOAA regarding both US and Atlantic hurricanes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
https:\/\/www.gfdl.noaa.gov\/global-warming-and-hurricanes\/<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

To cap it all, the BBC even include this deliberately deceitful chart:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The apparent increase in major Atlantic hurricanes since 1920 is due to the fact that we now have satellites to observe them in mid-ocean. This is why there is a step change in the 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A glance at US landfalling hurricanes shows there is clearly no long term increase in the strongest hurricanes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
