After a slow start to the 2024 Hurricane Season, it seems like Mother Nature wants to make up for lost time. First Helene hit the Florida Panhandle and caused a disaster in Appalachia. And this week, Hurricane Milton struck an area of the Florida Gulf Coast that hadn’t be hit with a storm this strong in more than 100 years. On Episode #130 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome back Stan Goldenberg, one of the nation’s top hurricane experts, to break down Hurricane Milton. Was this actually and officially a “major” hurricane by the time it made landfall?
We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including Bill Nye saying if you need to vote for Kamala Harris to stop hurricanes, Al Gore exploiting hurricanes for fun and profit, and the seemingly unsinkable notion that humans are able to seed and even steer hurricanes.

The jet stream on the western side of the hurricane pulled cool air from the north, which is why there were so many storms and tornadoes in Florida. Future forecasts should take this into account.

I learned a lot about hurricanes with this programme. All info. is useful when dealing with catastrophists.
The Colorado State University ACE data since 1851 for the North Atlantic Ocean shows that the highest 15 hurricanes seasons had ACE values at or above 170 with the highest ever ACE in 1933 at 258.6 with 20 named storms.
The latest present ACE value for the 2024North Atlantic season is at about 140 with 13 named storms. The biggest issue driving the press treatment of the 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season is climate alarmist hype.
The Global Northern Hemisphere present ACE level is only about 70% of the long term year to date average with the Pacific Ocean Northeast and Northwest regions well below average as well as the North Indian Ocean.
