Breaking Down Hurricane Milton - The Climate Realism Show #130

After a slow start to the 2024 Hurricane Season, it seems like Mother Nature wants to make up for lost time. First Helene hit the Florida Panhandle and caused a disaster in Appalachia. And this week, Hurricane Milton struck an area of the Florida Gulf Coast that hadn’t be hit with a storm this strong in more than 100 years. On Episode #130 of The Climate Realism Show, The Heartland Institute’s H. Sterling Burnett, Anthony Watts, Linnea Lueken, and Jim Lakely welcome back Stan Goldenberg, one of the nation’s top hurricane experts, to break down Hurricane Milton. Was this actually and officially a “major” hurricane by the time it made landfall?

We will also cover some of the Crazy Climate News of the Week, including Bill Nye saying if you need to vote for Kamala Harris to stop hurricanes, Al Gore exploiting hurricanes for fun and profit, and the seemingly unsinkable notion that humans are able to seed and even steer hurricanes.

Join us LIVE at 1 p.m. ET so you can leave your questions and comments for the show in the chat.

Thank you guys for showing the truth on Hurricanes

You know you’re getting at the truth when you’re demonetised by YouTube. Well done guys!

The wildfires in Portugal are a natural consequence of several years of drought that has affected the Iberian penninsular. Also they come at the end of a very hot summer. BUT they are hugely exacerbated by the massive plantations of eucalyptus trees, which, as most Australians would know, are fireworks 🎆

Good program, some good information, thanks for the public service

Hey Al Gore! Pro tip: Namibia happens to be the home of the Namib Desert, where droughts happen all the time. Just saying...🤣

Thanks all. Mr Nye and ilk ignore the reduction in severe weather. They actively advocate making the weather worse again. But they're kind and good, and that's important.

[andrewpickard]

I was going to do Nye-Gore joke but I think the talk was so good the joke is on them. Thankyou.

9-11 2001 Event. just saying...

What happened in Dubai with the seeding and caused flooding

[paulslater]

The government's had nothing to do with covid either 😂😂😂 if you believe that you're going to believe anything

[harmetp]

YT really throttles you guys. 185 likes. I guess there is a lot of money in promoting the Climate change hoax

[garethjudd]

The current climate catastrophe cult is no different from the medieval witch craft trials.

[paulslater]

It's amazing what can be achieved with deliberate weather manipulation

[shirleypollock]

Are these storms being manufactured by seedling and manipulating on purpose to create devastation

[paulslater]

You've just discredited your presentation with the vaccine comments
