Researchers say they have discovered the cause of those droughts.

It was caused by those horrible gas guzzling SUVs back in the year 800.

Same thing caused the 1930 Oklahoma dust bowl. Well, SUVs and central a/c.

Evidently global climate changes are not man created but cyclically result from other NATURAL causes. Shot themselves in the foot bigley

Morons. Cannot even keep their own lies straight. Global warming must mean more El Nino’s according to the Climate Change morons. So that means more rain. West Texas is turning green baby.

Dear ‘scientists’

1. Define the “correct” temperature range for the planet.

2. Define the “correct” humidity range for the planet.

3. Define the “correct” mean sea level for the planet.

4. Define the “correct” amount of precipitation for the planet.

5. Define the “correct” makeup of the atmosphere.

6. Define the “correct” amount of sea ice at the N/S poles.

7. Define/explain past glaciation and subsequent warming without any input from humans.

Waiting patiently for your response.

That sounds like the era that was called “The Medieval Warming Period,” when the Earth was four degrees warmer than now.

They gave it away with the lede.
“Coming back” means climate change has occurred before.
No shi....er...no Obama, Sherlock.
Those cliff dwellings in Co are ample evidence of climate change, among countless other examples.

And, of course, when you read “Scientists say”, well, just turn away. How many scientists? Do all scientists say this, or just some. Does a majority saying it make it correct? (Check out the reactions to relativity theory way back when.)

Are they on govt grants which will disappear if they say something not “approved” by politicians who’d fail a third grade science test?
And on and on.
Thankfully, a good many folks out there have the common sense to regard this stuff as - liberal tripe.

The tree ring specimen in Arizona from a Redwood shows many hundreds of years of wet and dry.

Climate variations always happening.

Yes, of course recurring droughts are because of climate change - just like the 1100 AD drought that moved the Anasazi out of their homes.

The climate is changing all the time. Why would now be any different?

“Researchers say they have discovered the cause of those droughts.”

Oh, the indians were driving too many SUVs from 800-1600 AD?

Hey dip shit global warming bullshitter analysis loser

Here in California we are drought drought drought drought global warming global warming global warming we’re all going to die do them doom doom gloom glam glam!

G then what happened?

Wow Z’s in 2017 we had incredible rain in all of the reservoirs went from like 15% to 100% Far and the Oreville dam was threatening to fail because of so much water

Then an 18 we had sort of a normal winter and then in 19 we had incredible rain again

Member those mud slides in Santa Barbara? Southern Cal got 160% of their normal rain this winter

Salep if you have a reasonable all liberal global warming enthusiast just asking what causes Ice Ages ?

And furthermore how we get a stop the next one?

According to his bio, “came to Columbia University as a NOAA Climate and Global Change Postdoctoral Fellow”...IOW, he’s supposed to find things changing or lose his subsidy.


Government grants have ruined scientific research, especially that done by universities.

No university will tolerate their staff bluntly refusing a few million to continue a study.

Just check and see how much money Berkeley or NC State or any of the other big universities is receiving in government grants.

The university system is totally corrupt.

Rising temperatures associated with global warming have worsened drought conditions on their lands over recent decades leading to a worsening of water access.

In a couple of years they will mimic this guy:

Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Climate change is not what we have to worry about. It’s the earth remaining.
