Triple world surfing champion divides internet after cryptic post written in Spanish denies catastrophic effects of climate change

“Where can I sign up to learn more about meteorology from professional surfers?”

As we all know, or should, the world is rifling to a bitter end. Soon, the water will be at our necks, the sun will boil our blood, and all because we didn’t have the courage and foresight to make the necessary adjustments to our carbon dioxide-spewing lifestyles.

This is fact, dogma, whatever you want to call it. Question it at your peril and so on.

The ultra-purist long boarder Joel “Tinkerbell” Tudor, who became the sport’s oldest-ever world champion, winning his third log crown aged forty-five two years ago, thinks otherwise, it appears.

In a post mocking the idea that Hurricane Hilary might be the logical result of climate change, Tudor posted satellite photos of the same hurricane with the caption, “Hurricane heading towards CA…it’s climate change!!!” on one and “Hurricane heading towards Mexico… it’s summertime” on the other.

The inference being, hurricanes swing by in summer. Ain’t nothing to get lit up about.

His caption Mucho Mierda, an old Spanish expression often used to wish actors luck prior to a show, translates simply as “Load of shit.” And, oowee, it has driven progressives mad.

Sample.

The third tropical storm to hit California in recorded history is very normal indeed. Where can I sign up to learn more about meteorology from professional surfers?

(Joel replied, “hhhhhhhahahaha this weirdo has been commenting back novels for 24 hrs ….can you say obsessed fan boy upset at a phone much hahahahhh.”)

Hurricanes are tied to water temperature, so yes water temperature is warmer further south. Water temps are historically colder further north…. So a hurricane that hits further north is indicative of abnormally warm water in the north and a changing climate. Even still the changes are gradual, but the expression becomes more and more extreme like a pendulum picking up speed.

Imagine swallowing the Fossil Fuel industry propaganda and confusing it for being a ‘free thinker’

Sometimes he’s right, sometimes he’s the biggest Barney on the Internet

Ok, so there’s no such thing as climate change, Mr. Tudor? Love your surfing and everything you have done for the sport, but this post sucks…

So regardless of this being the 1st time NHC has issued a Tropical Storm Watch for this region, do you think Climate Change is a hoax

nice thing to post after un precedented tragedies fueled by droughts, hurricanes, and poor land management in Maui. Not sure why surfers like to latch onto bad propaganda while the scientific community and all of our global meteorology data is in agreement. Storm severity, frequency, record setting temperature of land and ocean, increasing scopes of natural disasters. That’s climate change. The planet will be fine, our infrastructure, food sources, and impoverished communities will suffer. When did surfers become so brainwashed to believe conspiracy theories

And, ominously,

Are you a climate change denier?

Denier! A blasphemer!

Plenty on his side, howevs, reflecting, I think, the climate change fatigue among average people a little tired of being fed apocalyptic scenarios.

While all the Climatards jump all over this thread with all their “facts” the forecast has been downgraded to one day of rain 1-3 inches and 20mph winds as expected 😂 you’ll get us next time climate change.

These comments are classic… everyone with a sane brain knows it won’t be near hurricane force when it come remotely close to us in SoCal. No matter what the Climate bafoons think… why? Because it will hit cold water or land first. Which we have both also why we don’t have hurricanes. Every single model shows this….. but but but muh Carbon…. Enjoy the rainy day

Personally, I find the hoo-ha exhilarating and, given we’re all doomed anyway, I hope to be here, dressed in a maraschino-red suit with silk lapels, a black shirt and a bow tie, ready to clap the apocalypse on the back as we all burn to hell, the liquid fire eating me alive.

WHOOSH!

Are there smart people out there ie anyone not coloured by political allegiances, who can give me their thoughts on the matter?

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

I come here to groom professional surfers. Take off your shirts!

Heysoos

pffft stupid climate scientists and their communist agenda.

Derek Hynd's Missing Fins

Sadly it’s a global cult.

There is no rational discussion to be had with proponents of “Climate Change”. Its their religion and there is no room for rational thought, logic or reason when its religion. You must repent and have faith that what they tell us it true. Earth has been warmer and earth has been colder over the course of human history and here we are. We even have A/C, Heat and Indoor Plumbing. Its going to be OK people.

Pauly Matt War-Shore

No hamsammish for you

in rapid succession: horseshoes, toilet seats, and cornholes

got a neighbor who boasted: “I was the first non-scientist to get a publication into American Scientific…” yikes!

Logic 101

Rocks local

none of them mine, ha ha … just a lot of travel, mostly for work. When Chas gave me shit for missing the live comments in the US Open feed he opened, I was on a plane to DC for work … in and out of San Fran the week before that. Virginia the week before that. Etc, etc.

I’m pretty illiterate when it comes to meteorology but in terms of debating skills — having a hypothesis and making a coherent, articulate argument and supporting it with empirical evidence — the progressives seem more persuasive. That’s not to say that the regressives are wrong – just that their arguments seem more juvenile, sarcastic, and simplistic.

kinda like this old-timer ‘splainin’ sex to the teenie kids: “We already know, Dad!”

FL Skunk Ape

Ya think?

Chief Hot stuff

You forgot optimistic!!
Now get in your car.

pretty sure the same thing is goin down with nuclear power. the “uncertainty” is being used to promote more nuclear as a climate response. i’m reading about this new plant in Georgia and it’s just a fkn joke how expensive it turned out to be.

Otto

Thats not what I asserted. There’s plenty of cheap labor already here.
We dont need an influx of 5 million+ to meet the need for cheap labor.

Then lead by example and you and your family go back to Europe

tim_nelsen

nobody admits it, but: the USA is a caste nation!

Rocks local

Been on 15 airplanes in last 4 weeks … own a dozen or so surfboards made of foam and resin … several neoprene wetsuits … drive an internally combusting car … eat meat … like to hit the links every once in a while … have not purchased any carbon credits … love the ocean. Either a huge hypocrite or a 21st century civilized human, maybe both.

Hybrid…will succeed

In the Coliseum, questionable…

How many times can one fight the same battle over and over, again…

“Did you get here from the top or did they slide you in from the bottom…”

With the lions?

Who will succeed?

What is survival?

That’s the bottom line…

Who’s on my side…?

FL Skunk Ape

Living in the world as it is is not an argument against changing it.

Rocks local

True. I’m all for doing things that legitimately help the environment and preserve coastlines and natural spaces, keep the water clean, etc. Just acknowledging that my own actions are in many ways contributing to the problem, and not really sure how to resolve that tension — other than giving up air travel and surfboards and wetsuits, which choices are not really in the cards for me.

Chief Hot stuff

Not for anyone else here either.
Have fun Rocksy!!

Lance Charger

15 airplanes in a month?? Buuuullllsshhhitttttttt.

Rocks local

Whatever, it wasn’t a flex. Flying Southwest around the country is no one’s idea of a good time. Although the snacks aren’t bad.

Rich Marx

Joel Tudor deserves a spot in the surfing hall of fame for posting.

Oxnard is the geyser overflowing with illegal workers going first to the fields then next to Santa Barbara landscaping, house cleaning, roofing, drywall, painting, insulation, paving, concrete, framing, and every phase of construction that needs a laborer. Whoops I forgot restaurant workers and probably something else

disqus_00d1gIXedO

you’re welcome!

i employ Jose, Manuela…
Jose used to have buds and keeps back flora…

Manuela makes awesome grinds!

no one has ever claimed that forms of “weather modification” don’t exist. people claim that it’s nowhere near a hidden conspiracy, it’s not happening all over the world all the time, it’s not connected to historic storms, etc.

The Bitchy Crab

Maybe you should read the comment i was responding to.
He says the idea of sprayers is absurd.
But there they are being promoted on Good Morning America

The Bitchy Crab

Surfers?
More like a bunch of professional whingers

Don’t drop in on me, fucker!
