No Trends In Extratropical Cyclones – IPCC
JANUARY 2, 2024
By Paul Homewood
We constantly hear that storms are getting worse because of global warming. These claims are not referring to hurricanes and tropical storms, but the sort of storm which hits the UK several times every winter.
These are known as Extratropical Storms. The clown Jim Dale made this very claim again this week after Strom Gerrit. According to him, it is all to do with warm oceans, which pep up these storms. If this was correct, there would never be any storms in the Arctic. But claims such as this show a basic misunderstanding of meteorology; astonishing for somebody who claims to be a meteorologist!
NOAA explain the difference between tropical and extratropical cyclones (ETCs):
http://web.archive.org/web/20060321200304/http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/tcfaq/A7.htmlGiven that the Arctic has been warming in the last few decades, whilst the tropics have changed little, the temperature differentials they talk about are much smaller now, so ETCs should theoretically be weaker. It is TCs which feed off warm oceans, not ETCs.
