Great stuff Jean!

Thanks a trillion!


I couldn't get everything but the Weather Channel has been out to lunch with their fake climate crisis narratives for over a decade now as they focus on generating ratings.

On this one:

Hurricanes Trap Heat Deeper In The Ocean Than Scientists Thought

      
        Satellite data illustrates the heat signature of Hurricane Maria above warm surface water in 2017.        NASA     
                            Hurricanes push heat deeper into the ocean than scientists realized, boosting long-term ocean warming, new research shows                       



This is misleading and they completely ignore some of the key COOLING physics from hurricanes outlined in the article that I linked below.


AGU Journals

Water and energy budgets of hurricanes and implications for climate change

https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2006JD008304

We have found that hurricanes pump a considerable amount of heat out of the oceans every year and that the amount is apparently generally increasing over time after 1970 and depends strongly on ENSO. These facts represent a fundamental role for hurricanes in the climate system. Palmén and Riehl [1957] estimated an energy export of 0.88 PW for “average” hurricanes, while for Bonnie [Braun, 2006] it was 1.34 PW. These values are consistent with ours which are extended to the global domain for all seasons. As our values do not include the contributions from tropical storms that do not reach hurricane strength, they are conservative in terms of the effects of tropical cyclones on the climate system. However, they are probably representative of the effects that are not included in climatologies because of lack of observations within hurricanes.
