Data Shows Hurricanes have DROPPED in Power and Frequency for 30 Years, NOT ‘Gotten Worse’
by
Ask any climate change cultist and they will tell you with a straight and earnest face that hurricanes are getting more frequent and more powerful every year. But the data shows that their claim is simply a lie. Not only have hurricanes not gotten worse, the numbers show it has been getting less troublesome for 30 years!
According to Daily Sceptic, there is a “science paper published during December by Nature that found no increase in the destructive power of cyclones – the generic term for typhoons and hurricanes – in any ocean basin over the last 30 years. In the South Indian basin, the location of cyclone Chido, there was a dramatic decrease in both frequency and duration in recent times.”
Reality rarely gets much of a look-in these days when fanatical Net Zero activism is afoot, but the paper, written by a group of Chinese meteorologists, makes its case by considering the facts and the data. The scientists apply a “power dissipation index” (PDI) which they consider superior to single measure indicators since it combines storm intensity, duration and frequency. The graphs below show the cumulative index for tropical cyclones across all ocean basins along with a global indication.
Downward trends in the cumulative PDI can be seen in a number of Pacific regions, while the trend holds steady in the North Atlantic. The southern Indian ocean downward trend is particularly pronounced while the overall global line is also heading in a similar direction.
The site has more info on the study about hurricanes, but what we are seeing is that the green lunatics are simply wrong.

The Journal Nature: We investigated changes in the destructiveness of tropical cyclones worldwide using the power dissipation index and found that there is no clear trend in most basins, but a significant decrease in power dissipation index has been detected in the South Indian Ocean basin since 1994…
