Climate Alarmists Said 2025 Hurricane Season Would Be Devastating. Reality Had Other Plans
Climate Alarmists Said 2025 Hurricane Season Would Be Devastating. Reality Had Other Plans.
All year, Americans were told to prepare themselves. Major outlets warned that the 2025 hurricane season would be dangerous, unprecedented, and driven by human-caused climate change. Forecasts predicted up to 19 named storms, 10 hurricanes, and five major hurricanes hitting the United States. Reports framed the year as another climate-driven threat heading toward the U.S. But now that the season is over, the panic was unfounded: not a single named storm made landfall on the continental U.S. this year—something that hasn’t happened since 2015.
“The gap between what the ‘experts’ predicted and what actually happened is enormous,” said Daniel Turner, Executive Director of Power The Future. “Reporters and climate activists tried to spin routine weather into a political weapon, even shamelessly suggesting Trump Administration decisions put Americans at risk. The outcome speaks for itself: the storm counts were off, the intensity claims were off, and the U.S. saw zero hurricane landfalls. They said there would be more storms this year because you’re using a gas stove and they are wrong.”
2025 Hurricane Season Prediction vs. Reality
Prediction via Washington Post:
- Up to 19 named storms
- 6-10 Hurricanes
- Up to 5 “major” hurricanes
Season prediction – “above average” fueled by human-caused climate change, with warnings that the Trump Administration created staffing issues, leaving the U.S. unprepared.
Reality from NOAA:
- 13 named storms.
- 5 hurricanes
- 4 hurricanes category 3 or higher
- Zero hurricanes made landfall in the continental U.S.
Weather is not a political tool, and climate predictions are not gospel. For years, activists and media outlets have used every hurricane season to fuel fear, push policy, and shame everyday energy use. This year’s reality — calm seas, fewer storms, zero landfalls — isn’t an inconvenience. It’s a reminder that climate narratives are often built to scare rather than inform. Americans deserve facts, not panic.
