A storm of misinformation
Arriving on June 1, marking the official start of hurricane season…like clockwork, it is the beginning of another season of climate propaganda. [emphasis, links added]
For media and climate industrial complexes, every low-pressure system is an opportunity to drive fear-driven narratives: hurricanes are becoming stronger, more frequent and more deadly due to human-induced climate change.
But here's the problem: warmth itself is not particularly dangerous. In itself, the gradual rise in global average temperatures does not inspire panic…it cannot justify emergency statements or trillion-dollar policies.
That's why the IPCC and its media allies must link warming to disasters. It’s not the thermometer that scares people…it’s the hurricane lens.
This connection between climate change and bad weather is not just about leisure…it’s strategic. As we know, the climate crisis depends on linking human emissions to catastrophic events, even if the data does not support it.
There is nothing more obvious than what a hurricane has proposed to the public.
A good example: in 2025, it suddenly opened during a storm event. According to a recent Fox Weather article, the Atlantic Basin has remained unusually quiet for the fourth consecutive year, and the IPCC model has never predicted this trend.
Where are the early superstorms we were told to expect? These models say they will increase…but not yet.
If the narrative is based on actual data, we may rethink the entire premise of a “climate burning hurricane.” On the contrary, silence is ignored.
The data says otherwise…the scientific literature is full of warnings, uncertainty and confrontational events don’t matter…what matters is the headlines of the climate crisis.
IPCC has long predicted that both the frequency and severity of tropical cyclones will increase, providing convenient feed for media that want to dramatize every storm.
But these claims have not been observed.
In fact, the opposite is true: there is growing evidence that hurricanes have not increased frequency, become more destructive, and that some recent seasons (such as the ones we are entering now) have been dedicated at a historic pace rather than record-breaking activities.
The disconnection between prediction and what is happening is not just a small detail…it is a central flaw in the climate hurricane narrative.
If you've ever thought about telling you about hurricanes and climate change doesn't exactly add up…you're right.
If the models and assumptions of IPCC cannot even illustrate basic characteristics such as seasonality or storm frequency, why should we trust them in long-term risks, funding, or global policy?
Every year, media media catches several storms, sometimes attributes its intensity to climate change even before it forms.
They will claim that global warming makes the rainfall of hurricanes “stronger”… They will mark the storm as “unprecedented” without acknowledging our observational record or the role of natural variability… They will publish “Climate Change Is the Headlines of Hurricanes Credit to Hurricanes” without citing a single study that really supports the claim statement.
Meanwhile, those same headlines conveniently ignore the global accumulation of cyclone energy is trending downward… The main proportion of hurricanes has been stable… The death toll of hurricanes tends to affect… This is thanks to modern forecasts and infrastructure, not because the storm becomes milder, but because human adaptation is effective.
If you've ever thought about telling you about hurricanes and climate change doesn't exactly add up…you're right.
Everything from models to media coverage has been tilted to support a specific narrative: a narrative that demonstrates large spending, comprehensive regulation and unquestionable public compliance.
This article is your opportunity to break through this narrative.
Subscribers are next to a detailed breakdown of scientific literature, historical hurricane records, and data that IPCC rejects prominent. You will learn what is actually what…and why it's not new…you will discover why warm oceans don't necessarily create stronger storms…you will see why key indicators (the proportion of major hurricanes) have not changed in a century…you will learn how and why the IPCC's claims are in scrutiny.
