Online lecture by Kerry Emanuel of MIT, if not the world’s most eminent Hurricane expert, certainly the most widely cited.
Good presentation from this past spring.
Below, another decent one from 2014.

Dear Kerry.. I watched your forecast on the most Leftist/Liberal weather site ‘wunderground’ this morning appropriately named for you and the rest of the lying Gore Ideologists ‘ Are Hurricanes getting stronger’ First you ask the question and you answer ‘Of course’ with a cynical chuckle. Then you ask ‘is it because of Global warming’ and again you answer your own question with ‘Why of course’ I would like to inform you and your viewers that #1) Global warming has been totally and fully DE-BUNKED, so much so that the US Govt has even changed the name to ‘Climate Change’ ( Well Duh!) You do realize that Al Gore’s notion that by 2019 there will be no more Ice in the Antarctic, when in fact it has TRIPLED in size since he spoke those words back in 09! There are NO Polar Bears Falling from the skies in NYC and elsewhere in the world! and There is NO global warming. STOP trying to sell your LIES! In Fact the Water Temperatures have steadily decreased for the past 17 years and You Know it! Stop spreading UN-truths and BS that is coming out from the Greedy Tyrannical Govts as well as of course O’Dummer’s Agenda! Your theories sicken the majority of well informed intelligent people, while you come short on scaring the daylights out of the sheeple, the ill-informed~! STOP THE BS! and BTW where did you get your diploma? *Some online hack school, or better yet, an Ivy league Marxist agenda, Common-Core based, brain-washing shit hole! *There Is NO Global Warming and You Cannot Prove IT!!!!!!!! so please STFU!
I find the rant post interesting in that it covers a number of right wing bogeymen. Interesting is that reference to “common core”. The issue of common core is not some Marxist plot to destroy America. it’s an attempt to see that American education is on the same page, like every other high functioning public educational system in the Western world. Some relate it to “national testing”, but the notion of common core is about content, not how to measure it.
My take is that the hostility is ultimately undermine science education, as if biology in AL is somehow different from biology in NY. (Likely so that “creationism” can be taught as science.) It also helps to get revisionist histories into the school systems, like how slavery wasn’t the central issue of the American Civil War.
Hurricanes can be imminent, but hurricane experts are eminent.
Yes, those of us who graduated from high school are well aware of that, but it takes an eminent (in his own mind) boy genius to embarrass his host by pointing that out. Did you take ANYTHING of significance away from this post?
