Climate Expert Exposes How Activist Scientists And MSM ‘Gaslight’ The Public On Hurricanes

Hurricanes are the poster child of climate politics.
As you can see in the actual poster [below], a popular narrative exists that hurricanes are caused by carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from power plants (or makes them more frequent, more intense, more wet, more slow, more fast). [emphasis, links added]
Like the movie poster [below], in which the hurricane is spinning the wrong way, evidence and research have not always conformed to the narrative.
Look at that spin!
A pseudoscientific cottage industry has sprung up that associates just about every notable hurricane with climate change. Today, I take a look at recent efforts to attribute hurricanes to greenhouse gas emissions.
The impacts of climate change on hurricanes are claimed to be huge. Here are some examples from 2024:
