Stripe, where exactly have a I said anything of the sort?
I very carefully avoiding saying anything like that. And no, I am not a "leftist"- whatever that means in your twisted mind.

Translation: "I don't know it, I just believe it because someone behind a pulpit told me to and so have no idea how to defend it biblically."
Truster is paroting a rather common Christian belief that it didn't rain before Noah that some have postulated based on the fact that God used the rainbow as a symbol of His promise not to ever flood out the whole world again in Genesis chapter nine. They assume that it was the first time a rainbow had ever occured and so, by extention, it must never have rained before.
It sounds nice but the bible really shouldn't be used in this way. Unfortunately, most Christians who believe this tend to be dogmatically unwilling to budge on this almost entirely meaningless point of theoligical trivia. I've never understood it.
Five category 5 storms in 4 years is a significant trend. But that's just an acceleration of the trend going back to the 80s:
The models,even 20 years ago, predicted stronger storms, but not more of them. As you have shown, both predictions have been validated. Far as I know, there was no specific prediction on the number of hurricanes that actually would have landfall on the United States.

This nicely confirms their second prediction. We shouldn't see much of an increase, if any, in tropical storms. But we are seeing a marked increase in major storms.

perhaps someone should teach you how to read the legend on a graph, like the one Clete posted
or perhaps you thought nobody would notice that you're lying :idunno:
>>>"I've never understood it". There was no need for you to say this as its obvious.
" But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of Elohim: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned".
Anything of what sort? :idunno:
Do you think millions of people are going to die if global warming isn't addressed?
Cool.
Because you say so?
What are the odds that pure chance would see 5 in 5 based on the number of storms in the past 100 years?
Back up your baseless assertion. :up:
PREDICTION: He won't.

Apples to oranges. The number of storms is not the discussion, it's the intensity of the storms that do form. I remember reading that the overall number of storms may in fact decrease with climate change (mostly due to an increase in wind shear) but the storms that do form will be more intense due to warm water.
Warm water = more energy. It's simple physics, not rocket science.
You're stupid.
It has become impossible to have a substantive discussion about anything on this website. Those who try get banned and those that seem to be allowed to post anything they want are literally stupid idiots that aren't worth the hair that grows on their big toe.
Why do I even bother? This may well be the last post I ever make on TOL.
That graph is misleading because it only counts "U.S. landfalling" hurricanes. A large percentage of hurricanes wind up hitting Central or South America, or curve up and die in the north Atlantic, and never impact the USA. (I know, I know. You don't care about those.)
Here is a complete graph of Atlantic basin hurricanes each year from 1851 to 2018:
As you can see, there definitely is a long-term trend, and it is rising.

to a binary thinker perhaps
do you know of anything in climate science that is bivariate and not influenced by external factors?
Of this sort:
Here's your chance to stop playing your stupid games and simply apologize for being wrong.
You think nothing can be done about global warming?
Like I said, you could stop playing your stupid games, and just apologize, rather than trying to get me to confirm your slander.

Define external factors. More heat = more energy, it's pretty much that simple. Now the heat may be unevenly distributed across the globe but generally speaking if you're looking at tropical cyclones in general (not just hurricanes) they've all been increasing in intensity.
Just to confirm your thinking on this. You don't understand and so I am a stupid idiot?
"Elohim choses the foolish things of the world to confound the wise".
Bless you.

as a chemist, i would recognize that as a tautology, that heat is energy
but not all energy is heat

You claim a connection, but give no evidence that there is such a thing.
You constantly quote random verses completely out of context.
Stupid is a just description of what you do.
