The climate alarmist media seems to act as though the year 2024 Northen Hemisphere hurricane season involves nothing but the Atlantic Ocean and apparently is unaware that the Pacific Ocean, which is over twice the size of the Atlantic, is not cooperating with their politically driven propaganda schemes.
Shown below are the Colorado State University Tropical Meteorology Projects ACE data for both the Northeast Pacific Ocean and the Northwest Pacific Ocean through October 9, 2024.
It is obvious from this data that the huge Pacific Ocean ACE levels have fallen flat and have no intention in cooperating with the media's climate alarmist propaganda campaign that is so focused on pushing election year hype based solely on exaggerating events occurring on the Atlantic Ocean while ignoring the rest of the World's Northern Hemisphere Oceans.
The World is about 75% through the year 2024 hurricane season with the combined Pacific Ocean basins being only about 41% of the to date total average season ACE level with, of course, not a peep from the climate alarmist propaganda media cabal.
The Northern Hemisphere year 2024 ACE levels are only about 70% of where the 30 year average to date profile resides as shown below as of October 9.
The 2024 Atlantic Hurricane season has an ACE value as of October 9 of 127.6 as shown below and found here.
The North Atlantic Basin archives from Colorado State University show that the 6 highest ever ACE values for this region are as follows: year 1933 at a value of 258.6, 2005 at 245.3, 1926 at 229.6, 2004 at 226.9, 2017 at 224.9 and 1950 at 211.3.
The present North Atlantic ACE value for year 2024 is 127.8 is less than half of the highest ever recorded value in 1933 meaning that year 2024 is not going to set anything close to record ACE value outcome.
Some of the claims being made about the impacts of the year 2024 Atlantic hurricane season are just astounding with an example discussed below dealing with the recent Asheville flood damage.
In an L A Times op-ed piece published on October 9, 2024, the writer bemoans the loss of Asheville as "a climate haven" because of the impact of Hurricane Helene noting:
"But Asheville was considered a climate haven. I've always told family members we can never sell our homes there. It is utterly unfathomable that it would be devastated first by one of the worst climate disasters in U.S. history".
In fact, there are many such media articles that have referred to Asheville as a "climate haven" that somehow is being proclaimed as never having been touched by weather extremes.
This claim is completely false as addressed in the article here and shown below which addresses the Atlantic's 1916 Major Hurricane which resulted in horrific flood damage to Asheville from this 108 year old major hurricane that has absolutely nothing to do with climate alarmists claims of "climate change".
But that reality will never be published by the climate alarmist mainstream media - at least not in an election year.
