By Larry Kummer. From the Fabius Maximus website Summary: Millions of words were expended reporting about Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, but too little about the science connecting them to climate change. Here are the details, contrasted with the propaganda barrage of those seeking to exploit these disasters for political gain. Let’s listen to these scientists…

Yikes. Half of Florida is covered by clouds from Irma already. As predicted, Irma is intensifying in the warm waters north of Cuba. Dr. Maue has been very accurate though both Harvey and Irma (not to mention many others), but in this case I hope his opinion is dead-wrong. Satellite objective intensity estimate from Auto…

And it keeps getting worse. Earlier we said the “worst case scenario” was likely to happen, now that includes a delayed turn keeping Irma over the warm waters of the Gulf longer. Delayed landfall S of Tampa Bay would subject entire FL peninsula to potential hurricane force winds. Gusts considerably more (ECMWF) #Irma pic.twitter.com/EvEyjPM95V —…

This is one of those posts I wish I didn’t have to make. Dr. Ryan Maue, hurricane expert and friend of WUWT has advised us that the worst case scenario is going to happen for Florida: No longer any spread or uncertainty about landfall of Hurricane #Irma … this is happening for sure, unfortunately. He’s…

From the Hurricane Hunters: View from inside the eye of #Irma on WP-3D Orion #NOAA42. #NOAA49 and #NOAA42 are prepping now for another series of flights into the storm.

From  this imagery earlier, it certainly looks like it. It is certainly wider than the Florida Peninsula, and it’s diameter looks to be as large as Florida is long. From the National Hurricane Center at 11PM EDT tonight: Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 75 miles (120 km) from the center, and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward…
