Study Links California Drought To Global Climate Change
CBS Local Sacramento ^ | April 24, 2014

Posted on 04/24/2014 8:02:17 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

While researchers have sometimes connected weather extremes to man-made global warming, usually it’s not done in real time. Now a study is asserting a link between climate change and both the intensifying California drought and the polar vortex blamed for a harsh winter that mercifully has just ended in many places.

The Utah State University scientists involved in the study say they hope what they found can help them predict the next big weird winter.

You know. What the warmists really ought to do is just release one big study that proves, without a doubt, that every bad thing ever is caused by CO2. It would save them a lot of time and press releases.

The only “drought” was caused by liberals literally turning the tap OFF! and turning parts of the state into a dustbowl.

Study? Scientists? Scientists don't do studies they do empirical research and experiments. Show me some verifiable and falsifiable evidence.

“The drought in California is caused by illegal immigration.

Prove me wrong.”

You are certainly not wrong but you are only half right.
Half of the problem was caused by the legal immigration
of liberal Americans from everywhere starting in the
1960s. What happened to my state? Don’t let it happen
to you! (if it hasn’t already)

>> the next big weird winter

Never before have we had a “big weird winter”.

>> The Utah State University scientists

So what does it take to be a “scientist” these days? Espouse Climate Change?

Drought ? At least it is not a dust bowl.

Chicago had the coldest winter ever , here's proof:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/02/chicago-coldest-winter-ever_n_5078201.html

This after democrats said that our factories emitting CO2 have been creating a greenhouse effect for the past 200 years. so if that were true , if their global warming were true then we couldn't have had the coldest winter ever after 200 years of "global warming". Conclusion : 1.global warming is a lie. 2. a lot of what else democrats and the news media and scientists say is a lie;

I shut up a whole room of liberals with these words. a liberal from chicago said it was the coldest winter there this year. so i said that and liberals were fuming!

El Nino brings rain to California, so if trapped Co2 brought drought it also brings rain. Looks like weather to me

Wang based his study, soon to be published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, on computer simulations, physics and historical data. It is not as detailed and doesn’t involve numerous computer model simulations as more formal attribution studies. Still, Wang said his is a proper connection.

From "Aliens Cause Global Warming: A Caltech Lecture by Michael Crichton"

To an outsider, the most significant innovation in the global warming controversy is the overt reliance that is being placed on models. Back in the days of nuclear winter, computer models were invoked to add weight to a conclusion: “These results are derived with the help of a computer model.”

But now, large-scale computer models are seen as generating data in themselves. No longer are models judged by how well they reproduce data from the real world-increasingly, models provide the data.

As if they were themselves a reality. And indeed they are, when we are projecting forward. There can be no observational data about the year 2100. There are only model runs. This fascination with computer models is something I understand very well.

Richard Feynmann called it a disease. I fear he is right. Because only if you spend a lot of time looking at a computer screen can you arrive at the complex point where the global warming debate now stands. Nobody believes a weather prediction twelve hours ahead. Now we’re asked to believe a prediction that goes out 100 years into the future?

“Study Links California Drought To Global Climate Change”

False. There is no link. The study only attempts to establish a link. Believe it or not.
