About 5 years ago they made the same prediction. Well after the Hurricane season was over, it was one of the quietest hurricane seasons in a long time and no major hurricanes. Keep in mind, the scientist who make these productions have skin in the game and predicting there will be more hurricanes likely means more $$$ for them. Let’s also keep in mind, many climate predictions have been made over the years and very few have come true, Will we have a very active hurricane season this year? It’s possible, but as we seen a few years ago, it’s also possible we won’t and what they say or predict doesn’t mean anything as they don’t have credibility.
” Keep in mind, the scientist who make these productions have skin in the game and predicting there will be more hurricanes likely means more $$$ for them.”
Out of curiosity, how are they likely making $$$ off this?
Hurricane forecasters do get it right about 50% of the time. I doubt they get more money from predicting bad things, but they get the headlines. no headlines if they say it is going to less than avg season. The thing is they can predict one thing and then predict again with the opposite in a couple-three weeks and can say they were right.

Hurr Irma was in 2017 & Hurr Michael was in 2018.
Meteorologists & modelers have financial incentives to accurately forecast weather, not by predicting more & more catastrophic events.
Louisiana also called, they too take issue with your recollection of Hurricane season over the past 5 years.
