White House Account Credits Trump for Quiet Atlantic Hurricane Season
Scientists say a strong El Niño, not politics, has kept storms down as only five weak tropical storms formed, the National Hurricane Center said.
- On Saturday, the White House Rapid Response 47 account sparked widespread ridicule after posting "Thank you, President Trump!" in response to the historically quiet Atlantic hurricane season.
- Meteorologist Chris Martz, who described himself as the "anti-Greta Thunberg," noted on Saturday that zero hurricanes have formed in the North Atlantic Ocean so far this year, the first time since at least 1941.
- Colorado State University meteorologist Phil Klotzbach noted that shearing winds and dry air are "hammering the Atlantic," while scientists attribute the quiet conditions to a powerful El Niño pattern in the Pacific.
- The post drew widespread mockery from users across the political spectrum, with commenters comparing thanking a politician for the weather to thanking a landlord for the sunrise.
- Hurricane season continues for another 2.5 months, though the administration's claims follow a federal judge ruling that the Trump administration broke the law by attempting to cut half the jobs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
