SERIES: What the media won’t tell you about . . . hurricanes

In January, 1996 I was a post-doc at the U.S. National Center for Atmospheric Research doing research on hurricanes and floods. One day that month my boss, the incredible Mickey Glantz, came into the office with a copy of Newsweek, with the cover announcing: THE HOT ZONE Blizzards, Floods and Hurricanes: Blame Global Warming (below). Mickey tossed me the magazine and said, this is interesting, why don t you have a look. So I took a look, and over the 26 years since have been studying climate, hurricanes, and their impacts. In this short post, on the first day of the official Atlantic hurricane season 2022, I ll share five points of consensus science on hurricanes that seem to be systematically ignored by the media, and especially by those on the climate beat.
