“Nicole lasts all of 6-hours as a named tropical storm“. Tropical storm Nicole peters out after six hours, so Anthony Watts sniffs that the climate scientist conspiracy is giving names to smaller storms so they can inflate the numbers and trick the denialists into surrendering.
Of course since this tropical storm is the only evidence of AGW, at least for the purposes of this denialist talking point, it’s decline is the final nail in the coffin of global warming.
Wott's Up With That? 
But but but that’s how global warming works. ALL storms have to become Category 5 or there is no global warming. I mean, it’s obvious that since this storm didn’t get to Cat 5 there is no global warming and the ‘warmists’ theories are totally bunk. Why can’t you see that?

And, of course, it’s much more important whether a storm has a name than what it actually does:
