Climate Change Mega Thread

[The Green Barbarian]

Nothing to see here , move it along , its just a hoax that magicaly killed a person r.i.p.

It is called weather. Weather is chaotic and unpredictable. Natural disasters usually kill people. It's amazing only 1 person perished. Nothing unusual about it.

The hoax happens when YOU believe it is due to climate change, rather than weather and factors that cause water to backup or pool.

Researchers can now explain how climate change is affecting your weather

Chances are, if you live on Earth, you've experienced some strange, or downright dangerous, weather in the last few years. Maybe it was a heat wave that was hotter and longer than you'd ever experienced. Or a thunderstorm that dropped a scary amount of rain. Or a powerful hurricane that seemed to materialize overnight.

Climate change is part of that story. Extreme weather is more likely as the Earth gets hotter. But such sweeping statements can feel impersonal, when really what you want to know is: has climate change affected me?

"You have some extreme weather disaster, and people want to know: Did climate change flood my house? Did climate change make it so hot that my power went out?" says Michael Wehner, a senior scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory who studies how climate change influences extreme weather. "Those are good questions."

Now, scientists can answer those questions with more and more certainty. For some types of weather, it's become possible to say exactly how much worse it was because of climate change. Or that without global warming, the disaster would not have happened at all.

So Berkeley, it is already unbelievable and not worth reading. Probably based on statistical analysis of past events and models (all of which are wrong). Doesn't seem to explain why there have been no EF-5 hurricanes since 2013 when there SHOULD be because they are all getting stronger! Obviously no powerful hurricane developed over-night. Wildfires are decreasing as recorded by satellite, contrary to Michael's claim.

So let's see Michael make an actual prediction, rather than give a play-by-play hind-sight guess. After a hurricane occurs, you say it had 15% more rain on average... I'd like to see him make that prediction before it happens.

Such a joke, seeing that hurricanes are not increasing globally, among other various occurrences. They would be hard pressed to explain their theories and allow the scientific community to see their methods. Obviously it is all a secret. I would guess that "more and more certainty" means 2% instead of 1%. Unfortunate for Michael, heat waves did occur in the pre-industrial world.... even worse than today since global temperatures were naturally warmer as the theory goes.

Sounds like weather to me ......

The recent lack of EF5s fits into a trend toward fewer of these most intense tornadoes in recent years. However, because of their rarity and some changes in the way tornadoes are rated, experts aren’t convinced of how meaningful this trend is............

To begin, it’s difficult to draw inferences from events that happen infrequently. There have been 59 F/EF5 tornadoes in the modern record, which began in 1950. An annual average of EF5 tornadoes yields just shy of one per year. But violent tornadoes can come in swarms. In the years when you have one, there is a decent chance that there’s more than one. For instance, 2011 had six across three days in April and May.


In addition, the EF scale has limitations, because tornadoes are rated on what they hit, not what they miss. In other words, if a violent tornado plows an open field, it wouldn’t earn the same high rating that it would if it a leveled a town. Ratings on today’s EF scale for tornadoes are based on 28 potential damage indicators, which range from small buildings to large buildings, and include other assorted objects..........

Long pauses in these mammoth twisters are not uncommon because of their infrequency. Over the past seven decades, there have been seven lengthy streaks of 1,000 days or more without tornadoes of EF5 intensity...........

Even so, Harold Brooks, senior research scientist with the NOAA National Severe Storms Laboratory, urged caution in analyzing violent tornado trends. He told The Washington Post that “the most reliable” accounting of tornadoes includes all twisters rated EF1 or higher. “Counts of events stronger than that have been affected by changes in reporting over the years,” he wrote.

In the past, he said, it was arguably easier for a tornado to earn a high rating. “Pre-1978 tornadoes were rated retrospectively by summer students based on the text description of the damage,” he wrote.

In addition, when the F scale changed to the EF scale in 2007, Brooks said, changes were made “in what is needed to get the highest rating,” which makes comparisons over time difficult.

Changes in the sturdiness and the engineering of buildings may also have affected how ratings have evolved.

“It is incredibly difficult to consider ALL possible construction outcomes,” Stephanie Pilkington, an assistant professor of engineering at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, wrote to The Post. “Building standards have improved greatly since the 90s with concern for wind.”

So, BC wants to sue "Big oil" because of climate change.
Is Horgan egging them on, even after his failed attempt at a law suit against TMX?

Just more virtue signaling from ones driving to their protests in an ICE vehicle.
Stop coal powered electricity(in the world) and you stop about 40% of the CO2 emissions.
ICE vehicles will be phased out over time, no doubt about it, just not fast enough for the unrealistic with blinders on.
