Ten years ago, an especially strong and destructive hurricane season brought Katrina to Louisiana in August, followed two months later by Wilma slamming into the Florida coast. And then, for the next 10 years, nothing: no major hurricanes have hit the United States since.
As the US approaches another hurricane season beginning on 1 June, it will also be approaching a historic milestone: there have been no category 3 or above hurricanes in nearly a decade, a stroke of luck that scientists say is truly out of the ordinary.

Decrease in hurricane activity: random variation
Increase in hurricane activity: Global Warming! Vote for the Magic Men!
Notice how the decrease in hurricane activity COINCIDES with a decrease in decreased solar activity?
Strange, how they didn't notice that. Weather is solar-driven. That's how it works.
And if, as the title says, it's all "dumb luck", then are they saying that "dumb luck" drives climate? How does it power weather? It can't. The sun does. They're so intellectually false that they can't even describe, accurately, what is impelling our atmosphere to move around.
String 'em all up by their research grants! They're kickable, despicable creatures.
I'm playing EVE Online while I read the news on FR. ;)
Has there been a “decrease in hurricane activity,” though? Or just a decrease in the number of large hurricanes that have hit the U.S.? The article notes that there have been plenty of major hurricanes in the past 10 years? But that they have all missed the U.S. - I think that is the “dumb luck”
(right?)
Actually it’s both fewer and smaller hurricanes and fewer making North American landfall.
Call it luck, call it fate, it’s welcome for whatever the reason.
So after all the chicken little tales, weather is actually "luck"....and not farts and cars??
And we've spent how many bazillion dollars to change "dumb luck" into what??? more dumb luck??
They keep warning us that one of these days they’ll be right.
I refuse to believe this. If more hurricanes are caused by my personal sins - driving a large van, for example - then fewer hurricanes are caused by my personal virtue.
Seems to me they forgot about Sandy...
She and Christie brought us Zerohisseff...a storm still hitting the US.
It is their way. If the event fits the liberal controlling narrative, AGW IS the cause. If there aren’t any events, it’s just dumb luck (’bad luck’ to them, actually).
These people have been faking, hiding and colluding data for decades (recall, Mann at PSU, Hansen at NASA, Jones at EA CRU). It has become so outrageous and ludicrous that ANY event (earthquake, volcano eruption, drought, flood, tsunami) is now caused by AGW.
It is about money (research grants, political/personal wealth) and control of others.
Communism, socialism and fascism all have been tried before and shown to ultimately break down. Ergo, the new mechanism to replace CSF - AGW or as they have been forced to rename “Climate Change” to address those pesky snowstorms, etc.
They don’t believe one whit of the excrement they relentlessly push. It is there to serve them and give them what they want in the end - money, power and control.
I am not a scientist but don’t you need HEAT to have a hurricane?
I can remember right after Hurricane Katrina, the screeching siren song from lefties like Michael Moore, et al was that going forward (from about 2005) that there was going to be at least one Katrina scale hurricane making landfall each year and that soon there were going to be even bigger ones hitting the United States. All because of climate change. What utter nonsense and the way they were carrying on like little children making these stupid predictions, I’m glad they were proven wrong big time. Of course, it is never ever about them being wrong (major sarc).
When hurricanes strike, it’s “Global Warming”; when they don’t strike, it’s “dumb luck”. Such is the childish rationalization of the Cargo Cult Shamans at the altar of CAGW. What’s next, fake bamboo shrines made to look like weather stations?
A clear case of “mutus fortuna”.
What?? No mention of Ike?? Completely destroyed Bolivar peninsula.
Well humans have been pumping out CO2 like crazy during those 10 years (as the enviros never fail to tell us), so obviously there’s only one conclusion ....
more CO2 = less hurricanes!!
The science is settled, no need for further debate. And anyone who says otherwise is a bigoted Hurricane-Denier.
...and they will be, about the same time someone teaches a chicken to recite Shakespeare's Sonnets.
