Here is what Obama said on May 30 of this year...

Quote:President Obama warned Friday that storms like Hurricane Sandy will become more frequent as climate change intensifies.

While being briefed by emergency response officials at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) headquarters, Obama urged the public to prepare now for this year's hurricane season.

"The changes we’re seeing in our climate means that, unfortunately, storms like Sandy could end up being more common and more devastating," Obama said.

Fear mongering by Barry and his leftist buddies is looking rather stupid now. Of course is that really new?

Quote:The statistical peak of the Atlantic hurricane season has arrived and for the first time since 1992 there isn’t a named storm in the basin.

While forecasters are watching a pair of potential systems, neither is likely to grow into a tropical storm by the end of today. So far, four storms have gotten names in the Atlantic this year.

In records going back to 1851, Sept. 10 is the day when the odds are greatest there will be at least one tropical storm or hurricane somewhere in the Atlantic.

Still, it would be a mistake for everyone to let their guard down, said Gerry Bell, lead hurricane forecaster for the U.S. Climate Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.

“The season isn’t over and it is not shut down,” Bell said by telephone. “While it is weaker than average we already had one hurricane strike North Carolina this year. We need people to stay prepared.”

It is also too early to tell if there is a larger shift under way in the Atlantic that could herald in an era of fewer storms, he said.

Since 1995, the basin has been in the midst of what is called the warm phase of the Atlantic Multi-decadal Oscillation. This means it has been warmer than normal and the chances for weaker storms to grow stronger are enhanced, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

It has also marked an era where more storms have formed. For example, 21 storms got names from 1992 to 1994 and then in 1995, 19 systems reached that threshold.

A system gets a name when its winds reach 39 miles (63 kilometers) per hour and it becomes a tropical storm.

The warm phase often lasts 20 to 40 years. This is the 20th season since it began.

Bell said the Atlantic is a little cooler than it has been in past years and if a shift began, it might look something like the current year.

No one can say for sure right now, he added. It will take more time.

There have been times when quiet years have shown up in the midst of active eras, Phil Klotzbach, lead author of Colorado State University’s seasonal hurricane forecast, said from Walnut Creek, California. Last year produced 13 named storms, one more than the 30-year average, yet the power of those systems was so weak it is considered a relatively quiet season.

Using an index called the accumulated cyclone energy, 2014 has only had 45 percent of the activity that it should have produced by this time, Klotzbach said.

“But we are still ahead of the ridiculously quiet season of 2013,” he said. “I would say that we need at least one more quiet year to really be convinced that we are heading into an inactive era.”

Until then, keep an eye out, because while 1992 produced only six storms, one of them was Andrew, one of the most destructive hurricanes to ever hit the U.S.

Global cooling.

Here's what will suck: if CO2 actually causes cooling. Because it would mean the climate astrologers were wrong about being right. And cooling is devastating compared with warming.

Hurricane Sandy or by time it got to uncharted territory.. Superstorm Sandy.

Yea worry about Sandy hitting NY.. The Gulf Coast deals with this sh*t every year.

Interesting how the northeast deals with a category 1 storm. Imaging if a real storm hit that area.

True.. But think about how the Southern States deal with an inch of snow.

Inch? ****...they can't handle a quarter inch...lol

Snow in Atlanta is handled like a heat wave in Chicago… but with less gun fire.

lol, well put.

Snow melts. Once a 175 mph wind blows a tree into your house, neither the tree nor your house return to their original condition.

A category 4-5 storm in New York City may very well be this country's undoing.

we get ice in the south. The biggest problem we have with a quarter inch of ice are all the northerners who think they can drive like a bat out hell on it because you are used to all that snow. newsbreak, there's a reason we shut down when there's a quarter inch of ice on the streets. Cause you cant drive on that ****.

Hurricane season doesn't end until November.

Currently we're at the peak. Reading is fundamental.

It ain't over until it's over

Obvious that you are rooting for a major hurricane to hit and do major destruction and kill numerous people. Can't have your President and fellow lib Al Gore look bad, now can we. It it takes some death and destruction, so be it.

The lack of hurricanes this season is due to global warming. Of course, if there were hurricanes, it would also be due to global warming.

Climate chaos is like living with an angry woman…
knowing why, isn’t as important as knowing that it’s your fault.

No Named Storms First Time Since 1992 at Hurricane Peak
Meaning that right now at the peak of when storms normally form, there are none.. No one is saying one won't form between now and the end, but right now when there are normally a high volume of storms, there is not one named.

I feel like as someone who's a teacher I shouldn't have to explain to you what peak is.. Wait you're a history teacher, you only know government and history
