Hurricane Lorenzo Is Too Strong For Where It Is - Let's Deal With The Climate Change Question

Hurricane Lorenzo has become a record-breaking storm and an odd one too. My Forbes colleague Dennis Mersereau wrote an outstanding piece summarizing the status of the storm. While the storm poses no immediate threat to land, it could approach the Azores and eventually the British Isles next week. Mersereau wrote on September 28th:

Hurricane Lorenzo rapidly strengthened into a scale-topping category five hurricane on Saturday evening, with maximum sustained winds reaching an incredible 160 MPH. This breaks the record for both the easternmost and northernmost category five hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean

At the time of writing, it is still a strong category 4 hurricane. Inevitably, this storm will evoke questions about climate change so let’s deal with what we know without all of the hype and innuendo.
