Geee Posted July 16, 2015 Share Posted July 16, 2015 Investors Business Daily: When the New York area was hit in 2012 by the misnamed Sandy — it was only a Category 2 hurricane when it made landfall in the U.S. and it became known as a "superstorm" for political reasons — we were told that climate change was going to cause more intense and more frequent hurricanes. Since those alarms were sounded, the U.S. has not been hit by a single major hurricane. In fact, we are experiencing the quietest major hurricane period on record. It has been 117 months since a Category 3 or higher storm made landfall in the U.S., says the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. This is the longest gap since the government began keeping track in 1851. And it's been quite a break. The next longest gap was eight years, and it came between 1860 and 1869.

The system is trying to balance the temperatures out. As I understand it with global warming climate change climate disruption the poles will warm up faster than the equator. If this is true, we should see less not more hurricanes tornadoes, thunderstorms, and the one's we do get will be less violent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
