I didn't say that. CLimate change makes oceans hotter. Provides more energy to hurricanes. Climate change tends to make hurricanes more intense. If you load a dice so it rolls more 6s, and you roll a 6s, did the 6 happen because you loaded the dice? You cant say. But it was made more likely

First deaths from Hurricane Melissa confirmed in Jamaica and Haiti The hurricane - Jamaica's worst to date - was downgraded from a category five storm on Wednesday.

@bbcnews this is also an ideal hook to talk about future.

Every cm of sea-level rise exposes ~2 million people to annual flooding. That's > 100 million individuals in my kids lifetimes

Warming oceans probably fueling Hurricane Melissa’s rapid intensification Climate scientists have long warned that warming oceans are making such explosive storm development more common

I don't see a need for 'probably' here @theguardian.com . Warmer oceans support intensification.

www.theguardian.com/world/2025/o...

Those are deaths not hurricane strength! People didn't have warnings in 1900. And infrastructure often more resilient now

Hurricane Melissa could be strongest to ever hit Jamaica Melissa has been upgraded to a category five storm and could become Jamaica's strongest on record.

So far, no mention of role of climate change (hot oceans fueling hurricane and extreme rainfall, effects of sea-level rise) in @bbcnews.bsky.social Hurricane Melissa coverage www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Do you think your MP should be briefed on the threats from ongoing damage to #climate & #nature?

Please check if they’re coming on 27 Nov👉 www.nebriefing.org

They’ll hear the evidence that genuine emergency action will make ordinary people much better off.

Government approves 'UK's largest' solar farm in Lincolnshire Developers claim it will power about 300,000 homes - making it larger than any currently built.

@BBCnews allowing incorrect & mis-leading info to go unchallenged here: solar of course produces less power in winter, but it does work, and we get more wind power in winter. To me, a disproportionate fraction of this article to me negative opinion rather than info

Climate critics try to discredit IPCC author for linking disasters to global warming Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.

Anyone addressing the climate crisis, and failing to acknowledge fossil fuel industry's efforts to block change, is missing a rather important part of the picture.
