What the heck is the matter with these people? Do they lie, or are they just ignorant?
Most of them have no idea something is coming until it shows up, so guys like me warn clients, in this case, two weeks away as the models saw it, watch them wait until they can use it — what is now just a campaign of sewage level slime. They have destroyed the purity of the weather. They could care less, except to push their point that is based on hiding all the aspects needed for a truthful look.
So they dump on Governor De Santis.
Consider some of these points below that are actually less extreme evidence.
1) The feature never even developed into a tropical storm due to strong shear by a COLD trough aloft that set all this off. Same kind of thing happened in the Middle East earlier this year, and they did the same thing. They would not show the total picture.
2) It is true that warmer water can add to the heavy rain, but the reason for the warmer water is more than CO2 feedback, but large natural scale forcing.
3) How is it that with all this warm water around, global tropical activity is 75% of normal, with the northern hemisphere at 20% of normal?
4) How do you explain the 1940s, when the part of Florida hit by repetitive rains with non-tropical forcing was a railroad station for tracks of major hurricanes? Do you want to return to that? Co2 was way below where it is now.
5) How is it that the very same area that got crushed here has not been hit by a major hurricane in 33 years ( note: I would be surprised if that drought or New England was not hit by a hurricane, a 32-year drought, does not end this year).
Hide it, deny it, and then let it come up later when you have already gotten what your lie was designed to do, done.
It has been written about here, both from May of 2023:

And recently forecasting this ramp-up of attacks based on ignorance:

Or how about this, the owner of the WAPO who apparently could care less what his climate writers push:

If their jibberish was right, why are so many people moving to Florida?
Did warmer water have something to do with it? Of course.
Is the warmer water a result of man-made input? Actually, it is the opposite. The warmth proves it cant be co2
The water vapor in the air is likely a product of cumulative build-up via geothermal, increased solar, and the massive Tonga volcano’s huge input. It makes sense.
But not to people who have no love of the weather. They only look at it when it happens, and it fits their purpose. What is that called?
The Late Bill Gray, perhaps the foremost hurricane expert of our lifetime, said it perfectly:
The main misconception of the global warmers is to assume that all the many large energy terms of the climate system remain constant over long periods and that the only changes that matter for climate alteration are the very small magnitude variations of human-induced CO2. How could the warmers be so naïve as to believe that changes in CO2 are the dominant climate-forcing mechanism?
If you don’t know or understand that, you spew, at best, ideas that should be challenged and, at worst, lies based on ignorance of the entire picture. Leveling claims against the governor of Florida shows how low these people will go when you look at the actual history of the state.
