increasing instability in weather patterns will lead to extremes during both wet and dry years. Yeah! We need to get back to normal, predictable weather!

Wow, as soon as the Left’s boy got re-elected, Global Warming/Climate Change got dusted off and put back on the front burner.

You mean like when God sent a dream of 7 fat ears of corn and 7 lean ears of corn? Like biblical time ago?
Must have been those SUVs that the Egyptians were using.

On a micro or macro scale? Zoom in enough and you can lose context. If you look at a once in 100 year drought in the context of 50 years of history, you see a change. If you look at that same even on a 500 year timeline, you see a pattern repeating and the system is maintaining.

Drought in Iowa is a sign of La Nina, just like the early 50’s and the 1930’s. Nothing to do with “climate change” (the new name for global warming).

Ostentatious bullcrap.
The “Climate Change” hoax produces grants, and a sense of purpose for otherwise meaningless lives.

Actually, having a major North American drought just about every 80 years or so is a general rule ~ and this one was right on time.
The folks who signed the statement are not sufficiently educated in climate science to sign anything.

Climate change has been occurring since the beginning of time....or at least prior to the SUV.

The report was signed by 138 scientists and researchers from 27 Iowa colleges and universities. All of whom are probably looking for federal funding.
To: NormsRevenge
You really lose credibility when EVERY weather event is a sign of “climate change”.

Gutless academics signing away their integrity for job and funding security.
It would be interesting to track the academics who didn’t sign and find out their job status in the next year.
