OH NO, NOT NATURAL VARIABILITY?!

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Even for a world getting used to wild weather, May seems stuck on strange.
Torrential downpours in Texas that have whiplashed the region from drought to flooding. A heat wave that has killed more than 1,800 people in India. Record 91-degree readings in Alaska, of all places. A pair of top-of-the-scale typhoons in the Northwest Pacific. And a drought taking hold in the East.

OH NO, NOT NATURAL VARIABILITY?!
“getting used to wild weather.”
Oh, brother....
Obviously Capitalism must be ended immediately, or the entire Earth will soon be a Burning Ball of Fire.
Seth (global warming is destroying the Earth) Borenstein...I stopped reading right there.
“Other possible factors contributing to May’s wild weather: the periodic warming of the central Pacific known as El Nino, climate change and natural variability, scientists say.”
just knew it would bring up climate change.
Bunkum!
There is extreme weather most years, somewhere on the planet.
Yeah, Texas is getting a lot of rain. A few years ago they were suffering severe droughts. India has massive heat. Britain had the coldest winter in decades.

Media drums up these things as scare tactics to make headlines.
A few decades ago the Weather Channel went gaga over El Nino. The next year, La Nina.
It is nothing more than selling sensationalism.
ONOZ! Never in the entire history of the planet recorded and unrecorded has anything like this ever, ever, ever happened. All humans must die to preserve gaia. /s
Almost 100 years ago, we were told that free speech did not include "yelling fire in a crowded theater."
Now, "yelling fire in a crowded theater" is pretty much all the MSM do.

IT'S BUSH'S FAULT!!"
weather happens.
Typical weather for a ten year period here now.
Dry year, wet year. flood year, dry year. Really wet year, dry year. Very dry year, wet year. Drought year, flood year.
Begin again.
Never fear, Borenstein is here.
From a government-funded genius quoted ‘It’s raining harder than it did 20 or 30 years ago.’
Borenstein? Isn’t he the guy that sang that ‘Just a Little Lefse’ song?
The Bible has this well covered...
Thanks, I really enjoyed that.
I thought cold places only set record lows. Next thing, some hot country will have a record high, maybe even in one of its hotter regions. Just kidding, obviously by then we'd all be long dead from carbon dioxide inhalation.
This tired old crap is getting pretty boring; 18 hundred dead in India, we only hear about it now because of the internet and the speed of news traveling around the world.
Floods in Texas, drougth in California, like both Texas and California haven’t always been states of feast or famine as far as rainfall is concerned.
A 91 degree day in Alaska, it’s called summer you dumb asses at AP. The occasional hot day or days will happen even in Siberia.
Typhoons in the north west Pacific, I am shocked I tell’ya, shocked ( although it is typhoon season up there).
When will these idiots learn that there is this little thing called WEATHER outside their computer controlled, air conditioned, 70 degree, 25 percent humidity, offices on the 10th floor.
I have been around this planet a fairly long time, I rode out 2 typhoons when I was in the Corps, one aboard ship and one in Agana, Guam. Both were wet and windy with high water and heavy seas.
If I recall correctly even before this Gorebal warming crap, there were several heat waves in Central Europe that killed a lot of people, we heard about it because it was Europe, before there was an internet.
