” Sunday will be the 2,232nd consecutive day that the U.S. has gone without being hit by a major hurricane. This is a big enough deal to be covered by the mainstream media. But of course it won’t be.”
Investor’s Business Daily editorializes:
On Dec. 4, a new record will be set for the number of days between landfalls of category 3 or stronger storms. The previous streak, according to Roger Pielke Jr., began on Sept. 8, 1900, and ended on Oct. 19, 1906, when the Great Galveston Hurricane hit.
The record won’t be broken by just a day or even a week. Pielke, a professor of environmental studies at University of Colorado, says it will be crushed.
“Since there won’t be any intense hurricanes before next summer, the record will be shattered, with the days between intense hurricane landfalls likely to exceed 2,500 days,” he writes in his blog.
Why is this significant? Because the global warming alarmists have been telling us that man’s carbon dioxide emissions would bring bigger storms…
The Political Commentator may not be the mainstream media, but I wrote about this topic Tuesday here: http://politicsandfinance.blogspot.com/2011/11/category-3-hurricane-is-on-its-way.html.
When we do get a Category 3+ hurricane, whenever that is, it most likely promises to be a doozy!
