Hurricane season got off to a very slow start in 2022. But it only takes one big storm to wreak havoc — as shown in September by Hurricanes Fiona and Ian — and climate change makes such storms more likely.

? Did this mean there would be a welcome respite from recent years of record-breaking storms? After all, there were a whopping 21 total storms in 2021. And, in 2020, there were so many storms that forecasters ran out of letters in the alphabet to name them.

"It was actually, kind of, fear and dread," says Jamie Rhome, the acting director of the National Hurricane Center, thinking back on the quietest part of the Atlantic hurricane season."I felt like people were letting their guard down."killed more than 150 peopleIn the end, the 2022 Atlantic hurricane season was among the most deadly and damaging in modern history.

Flooding was the main cause of death and destruction from both Hurricane Ian and Hurricane Fiona. Much of the inland flooding from Ian was caused by extreme rain."A warming climate holds more moisture, and therefore can produce generally more rain," explains Rhome.

Did NPR mention a highly prosperous (rich) area hit by a hurricane causes more money damage? The country is gaining more capital year by year. Therefore, the damage cost will be greater. In other words, damage to the country was less 50 years ago because there was less to damage.

Liar. Climate change is not causing any change at all in hurricane patters, either number or intensity. Try doing basic research before writing out of your a$$ like this.

I’ve been on this earth 55 years and some years have been hotter than others and some years have been cooler back in the 1980’s we had like 5years in row of hardly any rain and it was like 100 degrees all summer long and guess what we started get rain again and it was cooler

Slow start to hurricane season? Climate change Fast start? Climate change Bad winter? Climate change Bad summer? Climate change How relaxing to be a NPR journalist and know the atory you're going to write before you even get out of bed, Nice 'work' if you can get it!

How much more likely? How much has the mean shifted? How many standard deviations?

NPR’s love affair with climate change is the most damning argument against the legitimacy of climate change.

Climate change does not make these types of storms more likely

Just climate change? Why do you deliberately hide the effects of systemic racism, transphobia, Christian nationalism, January 6, Covid, and non-vaxers on the hurricane season. Care to explain? silenceiscomplicity doyourdamnjob

Climate change propaganda got off to a very slow start in 2022, but it picked back up again in the summer when it got hot out.

My view of Ian

I need a cheap boat 🤔

Gov will crank up hurricane season to normal lvls in the coming year now that interest in covid has waned

Mobile connectivity is a lifeline when disasters strike. Lack of redundant critical telecom infrastructures is a vulnerability. ATT and AST_SpaceMobile will provide connectivity when disasters hit home. Learn more about $ASTS;

The media is a Fucking joke!

NPR attempts to preconceive the absence of hurricanes means climate change is running late.

Climate change blah blah blah. STOP the fear mongering. The climate has been changing since the earth was formed.
