Obama Proclaims: 'Hurricane Intensity' to Increase 'As Climate Continues to Warm'

Pres. Obama warns "hurricane intensity" will increase due to global warming, even as the U.S. is in the midst of a record hurricane hiatus and there's been no global warming in the past 17 years.

Obama said global warming would also "make storms more costly" in proclaiming this week (May 25-31) National Hurricane Preparedness Week:

"As the climate continues to warm, hurricane intensity and rainfall are projected to increase, and we expect sea level riseto make storm surges more costly. That is why, last year, I issued an Executive Order directing the Federal Government to take coordinated action to prepare our Nation for the impacts of climate change. In the years ahead we will remain committed to increasing resilience, investing in scientific research, and cutting red tape so we can quickly send assistance where it is needed most."

....

"NOW, THEREFORE, I, BARACK OBAMA, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, dohereby proclaim May 25 through May 31, 2014, as National Hurricane Preparedness Week. I call upon government agencies, private organizations, schools, media, and residents in the coastal areas of our Nation to share information about hurricane preparedness and response to help save lives and protect communities."

But, today, the Washington Post reported that it's been more than eight years since the last major hurricane landfall in the U.S.:

"Such a streak, or "drought", is unprecedented going back to 1900.  As of the start of this hurricane season, the span will be 3,142 days since the last U.S. major hurricane landfall.  The previous longest span is about 2½ years shorter!"

And, as Climate Depot reports, 2013 marked the 17th straight year without warming of the planet:

"According to the RSS satellite data, whose value for April 2014 is just in, the global warming trend in the 17 years 9 months since August 1996 is zero. The 212 months without global warming represents more than half the 423-month satellite data record, which began in January 1979. No one now in high school has lived through global warming."

In his executive order on climate change last November, Obama warned that too much rain - and not enough rain - also dictated his executive action against climate fluctuations:

"The impacts of climate change -- including an increase in prolonged periods of excessively high temperatures, more heavy downpours, an increase in wildfires, more severe droughts, permafrost thawing, ocean acidification, and sea-level rise -- are already affecting communities, natural resources, ecosystems, economies, and public health across the Nation. These impacts are often most significant for communities that already face economic or health-related challenges, and for species and habitats that are already facing other pressures."
