That video is a joke. Stronger storms due to climate change, are they even looking at the facts? Only four times since 1960 has the Atlantic not seen a hurricane by the end of August, and it is very likely 2013 will be the fifth. By this time in 1886, there were already seven hurricanes that formed, six of which made a direct hit on the US. How many SUVs caused that extreme weather?

One season says nothing about long term weather.

Of the fifteen busiest named hurricane seasons since 1851, eleven of those have been since the year 2000.

One season says nothing about long term weather.

And 1 decade says nothing about long term weather pattern but that doesn't stop the climate change alarmist from reminding us that we've had the hottest decade in recorded history. That's if you believe they accurately adjusted for urbanization effect on termp

A long overdue El Nino

We'll see what happens after the Sun's Pole Shift.

We'll see what happens after the Sun's Pole Shift.
Happens every 11 years.

Our nearest star is about to pull a once-in-11-years move by swapping its north and south magnetic poles.

The sun's polarity switch is a natural part of "solar max" — the period of peak activity during what averages out to be roughly an 11-year cycle. According to NASA, this year will mark the fourth time since 1976 that scientists have observed the 180-degree pole flip.

"It looks like we're no more than 3 to 4 months away from a complete field reversal," solar physicist Todd Hoeksema of Stanford University says on NASA's website. "This change will have ripple effects throughout the solar system."

The reversal marks the midway point of solar max, but it's a gradual process, says Phil Scherrer, another Stanford-based solar physicist.

"The sun's polar magnetic fields weaken, go to zero and then emerge again with the opposite polarity," he says.

While those ripple effects will go largely unnoticed on Earth, they will affect the size and shape of the undulating magnetic envelope that surrounds the solar system out to a boundary with interstellar space known as the heliopause. (The Voyager probes, launched in 1977, are hovering near that boundary now.)

Just before the switch, the magnetic field becomes very wavy, and as the Earth passes through it, it's likely to "stir up stormy space weather around our planet," NASA says.

"The sun's north pole has already changed sign, while the south pole is racing to catch up," Scherrer writes. "Soon, however, both poles will be reversed, and the second half of Solar Max will be underway."

From a human perspective, the effects of the field shift will likely be slight and primarily beneficial. For example, the polarity reversal will cause the "current sheet" — an enormous surface extending out from the solar equator on which the sun's rotating magnetic field has induced an electric current — to become much wavier.

This crinkled current sheet will provide a better barrier against galactic cosmic rays, high-energy particles that are accelerated to nearly the speed of light by faraway star explosions. Galactic cosmic rays can damage spacecraft and hurt orbiting astronauts, who don't enjoy the protection of Earth's thick atmosphere.

A drop in galactic cosmic ray levels could also have a subtle impact on weather here on Earth, researchers say.

"One of the things that helps clouds form and lightning to flash is cosmic-ray ionization of things in the Earth's atmosphere," Hoeksema told SPACE.com. "So when the cosmic-ray intensity is lower, it means you have fewer places where lightning will occur, and so the storms will probably be a little less intense."

Happens every 11 years so probably won't mean much.

The Sun is the source of the earths heat,, and tides (along with the Moon) and has a predominant role in weather.

What happens with the SUN affects the earth more than any impact from man.

From Dr. Ryan Maue's site (http://policlimate.com/tropical/), global ACE (accumulated cyclone energy) is lower than it was in 1972:

Thanks for the chart. From the looks of it, we could be entering another upswing in activity.

Sounded like it but it is a publicity stunt. The actual names are created by an international board.

I note that the maximums hit about every 50 years and each time they seem to be higher than the one before. On this one, it seems like we just came off a peak for the Atlantic Ocean so it should be getting relatively quieter for the next 30 years.

I find in-your-face snake oil marketing propaganda amusing; thanks for sharing. :)

LOL - who are the ones in denial? But - no, no, no, don't confuse them with the facts; that might be a politically incorrect thing to do. Who knows, it might even be racist, anti-semitic, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, what else is there...the works.
