I thought drought was a sign of lack of rain. Been happening forever.

[GeronL]

droughts have been happening since time immemoral

[VeniVidiVici]

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!

[SIDENET]

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.

[DJ Frisat]

Ho hum. What's NOT a sign of climate change/global warming????

[stylin19a]

same type of hype happened after katrina.. you guessed it..subsequent hurricane seasons have been mostly benign.

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).

>> “The drought is sort of a teachable moment,” said Jerry Schnoor

Ostentatious bullcrap.

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

[Red Badger]

When Iowa looks like this, call me.....

[Dapper 26]

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

[HereInTheHeartland]

As I thought. Many of signers have no academic background in climatology or meteorology.

The Dust Bowl/The Dirty Thirties

[OldNavyVet]

The report was signed by 138 scientists and researchers from 27 Iowa colleges and universities.

All of whom are probably looking for federal funding.

[Blood of Tyrants]

You really lose credibility when EVERY weather event is a sign of “climate change”.

[al_c]

Darn SUVS ... traveling back in time to create the dust bowl. It’s witchcraft, I tell ya!

[SampleMan]

Droughts go into the average.

Of course, they also say that climate change equals more tropical storms, which drench the entire Eastern U.S. with rain when they come ashore.

These idiots have forever given up any legitimate claim to the title “scientist”.

[SkyDancer]

Saw Ken Burns’ “Dust Bowl” last two nights. Now that was a drought. Plus poor farming techniques. Didn’t hear anything about climate change then, or global warming. Whenever there’s some sort of localized weather incident, here they come with that global warming/climate change nonsense.

[SkyDancer]

Also, maybe those scientists should look at the rain we’ve been having here in Washington state.
