    I know you’re being sarcastic. The funny thing is though, these aren’t even like climate change models. This is just based on the fact that the Atlantic ocean is much warmer right now than it usually is this time of year, which is most likely going to lead to more hurricanes this year. That energy has to go somewhere eventually. The Ocean right now in mid May is as warm is at usually is in Mid July in an already bad year, so this year could potentially be catastrophic.
