The mechanics of a stationary hurricane

 We've have a couple of these this year.  In the old regime, a hurricane sucked heat energy from the hot water, as it moved rapidly.  It would leave cold tracks in the ocean temperature satellite plots.  These stationary beasts are something new.

I was laughing at the warmies about a 'pinprick' hurricane, but this thing is staying at one spot and growing.  A hurricane must suck up and dispose of heat energy.  That's how it lives as a machine.

So, I will call a different mechanical system on this.  It is pulling in heat energy from an increasingly wider area.  Of course, nobody measures things these days, it's all 'influencer science'.  Nevertheless, a good hypothesis emerges.  But I won't state it, because it is late in the morning, and my brain hurts.  No great reason to fiddle with the Scientific Method, if nobody uses it.

Eventually this thing must reach the limits of energy gathering, and take off.  It will weaken over colder water.

ps they've increased the number to 700 times more likely.

Shel Winkley, meteorologist at science non-profit Climate Central, says those hot ocean temperatures were made 500 to 700 times more likely because of climate change. The group’s analysis also suggests that climate change has strengthened Melissa’s top wind speed by about 16 km/h, increasing potential cost of its damages by 50 per cent.
