What Goes Around, Comes Around 2 Examples of the Past, to forecast the Future
There is nothing new under the sun Eccl 1 -9 • The past is the foundation we stand on today to reach for tomorrow
Example Past Winter • How many people were looking at sequence of events in 1917 -1918? • Lack of hurricane season, even with favorable SST set up • Major ne pacific warm pool • Major cold over US. • 93 -94: Major ne Pacific warm pool

Example. . End game of AMO/hurricane/arctic ice idea • AMO cooling, warmest water at end of warm amo western Atlantic • Pattern similar to 1950 s • Arctic ice starts to increase as the AMO cools
East Coast hurricanes in the 1950 s
CURRENT WATER TEMPS
1951 -1955
1956 -60
THE GREAT NEAR MISS 1961 -ESTHER
1966 -1980
Before SANDY, DORIA tried it 1967
Near Miss Major, Gerda 1969
1981 -1996
Last time positive Summer anomaly
Models still trying for positive extent, height of melt season this year
Reason why, until now, east coast spared. . SST not in wheelhouse
But it is now, as N Atlantic starts cooling
So here is the test: • End game of AMO near, East coast hurricane threats enhanced • But end of arctic ice scam in site • Can’t wait for AGW agenda excuses
