Dude, Who Stole Al Gore's Weather? No Atlantic Hurricanes in August Al Gore was recently taken to task for exaggerating claims involving the frequency and intensity of hurricanes. The latest weather news makes his misrepresentations look all the more ridiculous. For the first time since 2002, this year there will be no hurricane activity before September 1. Reports indicate this is only the 25th time in 161 years that has happened. The first hurricane of the season has formed on or after September 1 only 25 times in the past 161 years. Since the satellite era began in the mid-1960s, there have only been five years without a hurricane by August 31. The last time a hurricane failed to form before September 1 was in 2002 when Hurricane Gustav formed on September 11. It would be foolish to make fun of anything involving such potentially dangerous storms and it's also possible we could still see many late developing storms. However, given all the misleading information passed off on the topic by Gore, his allies and a fawning media, hopefully any lack of serious storm activity won't be buried by the media for political reasons. More here via Bloomberg: August is about to end without an Atlantic hurricane for the first time since 2002, calling into question predictions of a more active storm season than normal.
