Well, that is a bit of a blow for the alarmists.
Actually, 33% less blow.
Don’t worry, before you can say “anthropogenic global climate catastrophe”, it will be labelled “misinformation” by the fact checkers, and we can all get back to panicking.
Another interesting meteorology article. The term Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) was new to me. No doubt the relationship between it and other weather events is complex and not fully understood. As to the belief that we have much influence over the weather system as a whole globally, that is, as you say, simplistic.
Slightly off topic, but some might like to watch the interview on GBN’s 19:00 programme with someone who was, err, critical of the new colliery in Whitehaven. A full-on climate scaremonger! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=suY1rqIt5GQ from about 9:20 on.
Nearly every time I explain to my friends that actually the world is cooling and the energy in our climatic system is reducing because the only source of that energy, the sun, is heading towards a grand solar minimum I am looked at as if I am insane.
Luckily I have always been able to ignore people who don’t bother researching these effects and who believe that black is white because the MSM tells them so. I expect to see them run over on a zebra crossing.
The problem we have is it is no longer about whether climate change is/is not a threat and whether Man is/is not the cause because there is a whole new thing which has actually become disconnected and exists on its own -decarbonisation, the march to Net Zero.
This is the same as CoVid. Actual evidence showing Covid was zero risk for 99%+, and evidence that the ‘vaccines’ did not stop disease or transmission, that they were in fact increasing infection, severity, deaths, causing deaths and injury, became disconnected from the vaccination campaign which still is being pressed on people.
Neither Net Zero nor CoVid vaccination are validated or repudiated by evidence, they have a whole life of their own.
These facts cannot possibly be true because the computer models say otherwise.
