Ya, ya, ya. We’ve heard all this before.
Parts of Texas are having a record drought as our middle states flood. SC: Catastrophism ping?
Ping.
Nonsense! It’s all Bush’s fault. Oh, and SUV’s and evil oil and coal plants! So there!
And my question to them is as always: what the hell then was causing the problem X number of [years, decades, centuries, milleniums] ago if it’s man-made ‘climate change’ today?
Junk Science Alert!
Doesn't the southern hemisphere get hurricanes, too? Didn't the climate nuts predict more hurricanes because of glo-bull warming (not that we really got any more than usual)? I'm sure they'll find a way to "explain" this away, like the way they explain more cold and snowfall in the north ("That's global warming!! It's gotta' get colder before it gets warmer!!").
It’s always trending warmer, or cooler. It’s always trending wetter or more arid. The universal conclusion in all these studies is that the climate naturally changes.
It’s thunder and lightning here in the Ohio Valley, and where’s Obama during all this calamity?
CE/BCE is code to identify the left wing bias of the authors of this piece. I’ll give it as much credibility as the hadley data
They were discussing a movie where London sinks beneath the sea due to global warming and they said “people have to take action today to stop this fantasy from becoming a reality tomorrow”.
I told my wife if I were writing a book on dumb statements that would have to be on page one. Then I corrected myself and said I would have to fit it into the foreword.
It would definitely be on the dustcover.
We feel the drought along the Mississippi River. Part of Louisiana hit by Katrina may in for a different kind of hit soon. At least people in LA are used to carrying flood Ins, My preioums are paid up thank the Lord!!! We will see what happens in the next few days how we will make out.
If this is true, it’s fortunate that temperatures aren’t actually rising.
High-larious. The UN had to perform a little memory-hole-dumping recently, since their little prediction about “climate refugees” having to move inland by 2010 (a whopping 50 million was predicted) was proven utterly false. (They even had plans to evacuate Tuvalu.)
This must be a lie. The global average temperate has never been warmer than it is now at any time since the end of the last ice age. Everyone knows that! The IPCC can’t be wrong about that, can they? But they’d have to be wrong, if it was warmer 2300 years ago...
Duh. That's the well-known Medieval Warming period, which the global warming pseudo-scientists have tried to pretend never happened, because it proves that climate was at least as warm as today without any burning of fossil fuels.
What does any of this have to do with the price of beer?
“The sediment core shows regular fluctuations in rainfall from 300 BCE to 900 CE, with notably heavy precipitation around 550. Beginning in 900, however, a severe drought set in for the next three centuries, with the driest period falling between 1000 and 1040. This period correlates with the well-known demise of regional Native American populations, Abbott explained, including the Tiwanaku and Wari that inhabited present-day Boliva, Chile, and Peru.”
So much for the Church of Warminetics’ hypothesis that the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age were purely European phenomena.
