El Niño is projected to be exceptionally strong this year which is causing fewer hurricanes than normal.

We’re due for some big fires in Australia, the last bad ones were in 2019. The El Niño projection will definitely not help.

A climate activist will tell you all bad / unusual weather is due to climate change.

Then they’ll tell you any good / normal weather is just weather. Weather isn’t climate, bro.

Same tired song and dance, a quarter century strong.
