Not finding any, Gore airbrushes in hurricanes for his new book
Al Gore’s new book had a problem – no big hurricanes since Katrina to put in the book to look “threatening” to the USA. Any imagined link between hurricanes and…
Watching Ida – back to a tropical storm
BUMPED, UPDATED: TS Ida, once hurricane Ida and a Cat 2 storm last night, has now fallen apart. To help you keep an eye on it, I have the satellite…
Where are the Hurricanes Mr. Gore?

If a hurricane dies in the middle Atlantic, does it make a sound?
Desperate de jour – trying to locate unreported hurricanes prior to the satellite era by looking through old seismometer records in an attempt to prop up the imagined “global warming…
Hurricane frequency is up but not their strength, say Clemson researchers
From a Clemson University press release, another peer reviewed study refutes the “global warming to hurricane” linkage that supposedly is causing stronger storms. The increasing frequency of storms in the…
Global Warming = more hurricanes | Still not happening
So far the hurricane season for the Atlantic has been pretty quiet for 2009. Ryan Maue from Florida State University explains why. In related news, Al Gore has dropped the…
Tornado Threat Increases as Gulf Hurricanes Get Larger
There have been lots of claims about hurricanes since Katrina, many of them linking “global warming” to hurricane frequency, which is of course flat wrong. This study however is in…
2nd Atlantic hurricane of the season: Fred, plus free update service
Fred has become a Cat1 hurricane about 445 miles WSW of the Cape Verde Islands. The Cape Verde Islands are a breeding ground for tropical storms. This is where hot…
A Hurricane in Los Angeles?
Here is the current Pacific satellite image, note the lower right. I might add that the likelihood of a hurricane strength storm striking Southern California is low. Since 1900, only…
Atlantic Tropical Update – TS Danny looks to follow in Bill's "cold track" footsteps
Updated 8AM PST Thursday 8/27 Danny continues. It now has 60 mph sustained winds. TS Danny is visible in the center of the image below. This satellite image will update…
Atlantic Tropical Update – Hurricane Bill affecting Bermuda

Mann hockey-sticks hurricanes: Hurricanes in the Atlantic are more frequent than at any time in the last 1,000 years
Just when you think it couldn’t get any more bizarre in Mann-world, out comes a new paper in Nature hawking hurricane frequency by proxy analysis. I guess Dr. Mann missed…
NOAA: More tropical storms counted due to better observational tools, wider reporting. Greenhouse warming not involved.
As I’ve been saying for some time when it comes to the imagined link between AGW and more tornadoes – there is none. I blame Super Mega Doppler StormTracker 7000…
NOAA Lowers Hurricane Season Outlook
While NOAA is lowering forecasts, the Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) from FSU COAPS is also quite low. Ryan Maue’s Tropical web page at Florida State University has this graph that…
