They forecasted 17-24 named; 8-13 hurricanes, 4-7 major.
So far we've had
15 named, 10 hurricanes, 4 major
With 6 weeks left. Guess it happened afterall.

When you predict a record hurricane season every year, it's bound to happen eventually.
Hopefully, they're getting better at predicting.

"Not only more, but larger, like Katrina-level! For now on! Point of no return! Science is settled!"
20 years later, numbers hit prediction, once. "Told ya!"
Not being snarky. Just still hate the alarmist predictions. That's poor science.

Katrina always gets discussed as this monster hurricane, and it was, but no more so than other Cat 5s. A poorly designed city run by corrupt, incompetent, racist assholes led to a perfect place to make her mark on history. Andrew was easily the more impressive Cat 5 and that was a long time before the current "global warming makes everything worse" stuff.
Just to further the point about the alarmists, did you see the coverage of the most recent hurricane? It was "the sky is falling" and amplified. One forecaster went viral for breaking down and crying about it on air. Yeah, it was a Cat 5, came from a less common source (less common, but does happen), and did hit Florida, but was it worse than previous hurricanes? No. The fact that it was out of the news pretty rapidly says a lot. The hurricane prior was worse and that was a Cat 4. The where, when, and other factors seem to play more of a role in a storm's damage than just the storm itself.
And alarmists might be the wrong word here. How about "Hype Men", "Clickbait Artists", or my personal favorite, "Climaterrorists".
Their job is to get eyeballs. Does setting people at ease get eyeballs? Nope. Screaming out the sky is falling does though. Of course, this isn't just weathermen, it's all media. And I should also note this was going on long before Climate Change. Over 20 years ago Bill Spencer, a local meteorologist, was accused of being a Climaterrorist for the way he intentionally WAY overhyped local weather events.

Bill Spencer got banned from Topsail Island, NC (near where I used to live) because he went there during a hurricane, spouted a lot of bullshit, and hurt the rental industry (main industry of that island).

Admittedly, the path of that hurricane changed to be less destructive like 1 day out from shore.

Fair, and backs up my point about the "where, when, etc." factors.

$300billion just pledged for a program to help countries with climate change.

Something tells me there is a James-Bond level supervillian who worked very hard to make that happen.
No one steals nukes and blackmails the world, any more. Now they can use a Cause and get hundreds of billions put in their hands.

The underdeveloped countries wanted more in the amount of $1.3T. How many wars and palaces will this $300B pay for?

I'm guessing zero oversight, especially over the checks that are written.
I'm guessing very nice jets to take the people controlling the money to here, and there, where they are put up in the palaces and have all the men/women/children they want to fuck.
I'm guessing no actual results will be required.
Tellin ya, supervillain shit.

This part I disagree with. It doesn't take a supervillain to pull this kind of scam off, just corrupt assholes. Don't give any of them the "cool and intelligence" that gets associated with supervillains.

Yesterday it was 32 and rainy/icy. Had to take the trash can 70 feet up the driveway.
Had no shoes on. So took off my socks and took it barefoot.
GF is like "hey it's wet and cold out." I was like "Yeah didn't want to get my socks wet."
