Live at 1 PM ET: Where’d the Hurricanes Go? — The Climate Realism Show #219

The Heartland Institute

.
The Heartland Institute

For the first time in more than 100 years, no hurricanes formed in the Atlantic Ocean from the start of hurricane season through September. This is amazing, and great news for people who live in Hurricane Alley in the US, but this is not what the climate alarmists promised us. Humans would be punished for creating global warming with an endless parade of larger, stronger, and deadlier storms. So what happened? We have a couple of meteorologists to explain.

On Episode 219 of The Climate Realism Show the Heartland Institute’s Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely will also discuss some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including the end of quest to eliminate the internal combustion engine, a critical climate case going to the Supreme Court, and climate change putting humans at risk of more mosquito bites, bat attacks, and being mauled by bears.

Join us Friday at 1 p.m. ET on YouTube, Rumble, X, and Facebook. Participate in the show by leaving your comments and questions in the chat.

PART I of II

The Canadian government website, Natural Resources Canada, scrubs the following admission that there is no such thing as “back radiation”:

“Of the incoming solar radiation that hits the boundary between the Earth’s atmosphere and outer space, about 30% is reflected back to space by atmospheric clouds and the Earth’s surface, 25% is absorbed by the atmosphere and reradiated back to space, and 45% is absorbed by the surface of land and ocean (Figure 5).”

https://natural-resources.canada.ca/maps-tools-publications/satellite-elevation-air-photos/interactions-atmosphere

There it is, “25% is absorbed by the atmosphere and reradiated back to space”.

The page scrubbed was updated 1/14/25, and Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine’s captures before that update were also scrubbed. Obviously, the Marxists within the Canadian government were aware of my citations of the incriminating admission that there is no such thing as “back radiation”, and took corrective action in suppressing the truth.

PART II of II

“Climate Change” models don’t take into account the Earth’s electric/magnetic [energy] fields!

“Back radiation”/”downwelling”, the foundation of “Climate Change”, is a known fraud thanks to the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

We start with a question:

Question to Google AI: where is radiation in e=mc2?

“AI Overview

In E=MC2, radiation is represented by the (energy), which is released when mass (M) is converted, as explained in this NSTA article and this PBS article. The formula shows that radiation, heat, or light emitted by a substance is equivalent to the mass lost.”

Got that? Energy is radiation, according to physics. Therefore radiation cannot move in the direction of lessened disorder/randomness after its interception and absorption in the atmosphere, radiation must follow the path of greater disorder/randomness in order to facilitate energy’s compliance with the Second Law of Thermodynamics:

“The second law – The level of disorder in the universe is steadily increasing. Systems tend to move from ordered behavior to more random behavior.”

https://physics.bu.edu/~duffy/py105/Secondlaw.html

Photons, electromagnetic radiation, have oscillating electric and magnetic fields.

https://physics.stackexchange.com/questions/725572/how-can-photons-have-an-electric-field-without-having-a-charge

The electric/magnetic fields of the atmosphere increases with a descending atmosphere, therefore when a photon is absorbed by a gas molecule in the atmosphere, after that photon is destroyed, a new, less energized, photon is emitted by the gas molecule, and the only direction the new molecule can spontaneously move towards is in the direction of the less ordered, more random, higher atmosphere, not downwards according to the Marxist-originated “back radiation” canard.

Good as far as it goes.
Thermodynamics concerns thermal energy. Electromagnetic energy is not thermal energy. E. Foote discovered this in the mid 1850s.
A photon is not a particle. Is it a defined mathematical quantum of energy. It cannot be destroyed.
Lastly, the quantum emission creates a spherical EM wave front. It is not unidirectionsl.

You are correct. There is no back radiation the way the Climate Imperialists use it.

It is a very real question, one I have posed before, why the planetary magnetic fields are ignored by the Climate Imperialists.

It’s Climate Change wot done it. Another unintended consequence.

Another victim of the CLIMATE EMERGENCY. I suggest we destroy 2-3 coastal cities as compensation reparations.

Zero hurricanes in Gulf of America … since Trump renamed it.

Zero hurricanes in Lake America … since Trump renamed it.

If Trump renamed the Pacific and Indian oceans we could completely rid the world of dangerous hurricanes!

Trump renaming the Persian Gulf to the “American Gulf of Persia” and the Gulf of Oman to “”American Gulf of Oman”.

Coming next, Truman renames “Canada Dry” to “America Dry,” Canadian geese to “American geese”, and the San Andreas fault to “Joe Biden’s fault”.

I noticed that the MSM featured the recent “monster” nor-easter storm as to be devastating and the national news was all over itself about its “widespread” impact all along the upper Atlantic coast.

Of course, following one or two evenings of the MSM “weathermen/weathergirls” featuring the obligatory scenes of waves “crashing” over seaside barriers, wind gusting up to—horrors!— 60 mph, and the nearby scenes of water incursion onto beachside streets (wow, imagine that!), this “catastrophic news” disappeared in two days. That’s what happens in the absence of being able to overstate the impact of true hurricanes.

ROTFL!
