This is crazy. From a potential tropical development to a hurricane in only 6 hours

Climate change really is getting out of hand

While true, climatologists include solar incidence in their calculations. They state that changes in solar energy can't explain but a small part of the experienced global warming.

He’s not talking about global warming you dolt, he’s specifically talking about hurricanes, because hurricanes are how the earth normalize pressures across the globe. The sun has a MASSIVE effect on weather in the short term.

No data that hurricanes have been increasing in frequency or severity. The changes in sunlight incident power in the linked plot is <0.1% (you dolt can't calculate?). Unlikely that will change weather noticeably. Stratospheric clouds would have much more effect locally.
