Would love to see followup on this. Wish there were some way to like bookmark or something and come back in a few years.
For a weather forecaster this is a really strange take. Anybody who understands what the big words 'climate change' mean, could have predicted this. HAVE predicted this. I personally have predicted this and I'm not even a weather forecaster, I just know what chaos theory is. Adding energy to the system produces a wider range of possible outcomes. This is absolutely one of the possible outcomes. A few degrees less war…

I found these facts in the article interesting:
- This is not actually unprecedented -- hurricane Patricia in 2015 did the same thing, more intensely.
- "Sea surface temperatures were close to 31°C over Otis’s path, which is a few degrees above normal. While not the primary cause of Otis’s rapid intensification, they did not hurt."
- Unusual placement of the hurricane relative to the jet stream seems to be the main cause

And we have 10 to 20 years before effects from current emissions are felt: https://earth.org/data_visualization/the-time-lag-of-climate... As COVID-19 showed us, humans aren't great at dealing with delayed effects.
Especially when we really, really don't want to.

so this weather forecaster is just doing the same thing, he’s trying to predict future events on past performance.
What they need to do is start looking right in front of their face like you said.
And they need to get some testicles and start screaming that this is a problem at the top of their lungs. And then they need to quit their jobs at these network companies that all advertise for fossil fuel companies.

A Watt is a joule of energy transferred over one second, i.e. they're a rate.

While I admire your ardor, and agree with you that anthropogenic global warming is a serious problem, your explanation lacks a specific mechanism, and the disrespect you show towards the experts is reprehensible.

Watts aren’t energy, so no idea what this means.
