About this episode
Every year at this time, when hurricane season rolls around, corporate media start pumping out headlines linking the severity of hurricanes to climate change . But is there causation or correlation? And if changes in the climate do affect hurricanes, is it in the way climate activists claim? Climatologist David Legates says, "[If] we have colder periods, we will get more hurricane activity . If we have warmer periods, the hurricane activity tends to drop off.” Legates serves as a visiting fellow for the Science Advisory Committee in the Center for Energy, Climate, and Environment at The Heritage Foundation, and is a professor emeritus at the University of Delaware. He is also the co-author of the book “ Climate and Energy: The Case for Realism .” Legates joins “ The Daily Signal Podcast ” to discuss what connection does exist between hurricanes and a changing climate.
