As I noted, AGW is reflexively blamed for both “more” of things and “less” of things. There is no eventuality that is not pinned on AGW. Not one. A storm forms? AGW. A storm subsided? AGW. Bigger storm than average? AGW. Lesser storm than expected? AGW. Hurricanes are both intensified and reduced by AGW. I’ve read the reports myself. It could not be more circular.As the earth's atmosphere heats up there is a change in many things like evaporation of the oceans, warmth of the atmospheric layers, the poles putting more cold ( with resultant loss of polar cold ) in smaller areas and being pushed into new areas of the earth's atmosphere. Combined with the heating of the latitudes in the middle ranges of the north and south of the equator these put stress on the cold fronts and make them more severe.
It’s kinda like Trump. Does he suck? Yeah, on many fronts...but you guys get all frothed up, can’t control yourselves, and start blaming everything on him. Everything, everywhere.
It’s a fascinating psychology to witness.
