Absolutely amazing & somewhat sad

Observations of hurricane activity apparently don't show the right trends
So this new paper re-invents history by using modeled historical hurricane activity to find the right trends

Predictably, gross misinformation follows

This is where we are at in hurricane research?😐

And the MIT press release fails to accurately reflect the paper

Irresponsible

It goes undisclosed that the author runs a consulting firm that sells modelled hurricane projections under RCP8.5

Bottom line⬇️
