Climate Change scientists make Frau Mueller look intelligent.
The Weather Companys primary journalistic mission is to report on breaking weather news, the environment and the importance of science to our lives. This story does not necessarily represent the position of our parent company, IBM.
So, there was “climate change” from 800 to 1600 A.D.
It was air conditioning and all the SUVs driven back then.
Currently no part of New Mexico is under severe drought conditions, and less than 9% is in moderate drought conditions.
That’s a lot better than most of the previous decade.
The Mojave Desert is going to be dry due to global warming.
Is that it?
I’ll bet anyone $100 that unprecedented rain and floods occur there within the next 12 months.
O....M....G!...
A lot of the Navajo Nation sits on a mile high freaking DESERT you weather idiots. I’ve lived in 4-corners on the reservation border 50 years at 5,500 feet and yes it gets hot in the summer. Every freaking year like clockwork. Last year called a drought with no washing the car water restrictions, this year southern rockies 30 miles North at 400% of snowpack has the rivers over their banks in places. Wash your car all you want. Next year will bring one or the other again.
These Idiots should have their Scientist Permit revoked
Some times the desert blooms, most of the time it does not.
It has rained just about every day here in SC Texas this summer. Very unusual.
The native Americans disappeared around 1000 years ago in this area because of DROUGHT. In more recent history the 1950s were terribly dry and that came after the dust bowl days of the 30s.
It is called nature, we don’t cause it and we can’t control it.
We must act now before it is too late again.
Coming... back...
Which implies this happened long before industrialization? Huh...
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.
His comments are full of caveats..."could", "might"...uh huh.
The current situation in the West is that it's recovered significantly from recent droughts. Will there be more? Of course. Will they be anthropogenic? Maybe a teeny bit in local areas.
But Nathan is trying to fluff all that up, because he's an ideological kid spouting top level crap. And he needs the stipend..
Fear mongering sells.
Really? Last night on the local news they were almost giddy proclaiming Arizona drought free for the first time in who knows how long.
I guess they were lying.
