This article argues that mainstream media outlets, including NOAA, exaggerate hurricane wind speeds to create fear and profit from climate change hysteria. The author, Dent Arthur Dent, a pilot with extensive weather knowledge, claims that while hurricanes are real and cause damage, the reported wind speeds are inflated. He contrasts raw data from weather buoys and decoded dropsonde measurements with official reports, suggesting that higher wind speeds are recorded at altitudes far above ground level, where they are irrelevant for assessing surface damage. The author believes the deception occurs between the data collection by hurricane hunter aircraft and the dissemination of information by agencies like NOAA, potentially for financial gain through insurance and disaster relief funds. He notes that damage often attributed to wind is actually caused by storm surge. The article was prompted by reader feedback and aims to provide verifiable data to challenge exaggerated hurricane reporting.
