I'm not lying when I say that I had seriously consider making a post along the lines of "Watch the liberal media blame Trump for this hurricane".

Yeah lol but it's ok 'cause Tucker Carlson will come along to straighten it all out and make sure everyone knows it was really Obama's fault.

Well do the math.

How long does it take an ocean to warm up enough to make hurricanes noticeably stronger?

Subtract that from 2018. Who was president?

This is almost impossible to answer in a satisfying way.

The problem is that we get fewer than 30 hurricanes per year on the entire planet, and that's a ridiculously small data set for this kind of question.
It is compounded by the wide range of severity among these storms, added with other long-term cycles that compound any predictive power of statistics making a more rigorous statement aside from average number per year and average strength per hurricane-like event.

Basically, you need like a century of observation before you can say with any certinaty that the more recent 50 years worth of storms was greater or lesser than the first 50 years of storms.


Hurricanes are difficult in this regard.

None of your answers are ever satisfying
