CBS News Frets Climate Change Will Increase Hurricane Risk In Chicago. It Won’t
by Linnea Lueken  Oct 24, 2024 

A recent article posted by CBS News, Chicago asks the question on nobody’s mind: “Will climate change put the Chicago area at heightened risk for hurricanes?”. [emphasis, links added]

This question and the thinking behind it are ridiculous.


Although the remnants of tropical storms and hurricanes can reach Chicago and have in the past, there is little reason to think that climate change will make it more likely to occur in the future or more severe if or when it does.

CBS claims that the recent hurricane Helene “brought tropical flooding to inland regions not typically at risk,” warning that it’s now clear that “climate disasters can happen anywhere.”

Yes, remnants do blow through Chicago on rare occasion.  I was in Chicago when one came in.  You think Chicago is the windy city, it was brutal that day!  The next day, the Edmond Fitzgerald was sunk in Superior.
