“I’ve never seen this in 50 years” is not the same thing as “this has never happened.” The Atlantic had ZERO recorded hurricanes in 1907 and 1914. Now, 112 years later, we’ve reached Sept. 22 with ZERO hurricanes again. That’s the problem with judging climate through a human lifetime. Earth is 4.5 BILLION years old. Rare ≠ unprecedented. Unusual ≠ proof of a new climate regime. Weather and climate have always varied... sometimes dramatically. Your 50-year memory isn’t the climate record.
