Predictions of unprecedented rainfall extremes in the 20th century driven by global warming turned out wrong, a study said Wednesday, casting doubt on methods used to project future trends.
A massive trawl of Northern Hemisphere rainfall data for the last 1,200 years revealed there had been more dramatic wet-dry weather extremes in earlier, cooler centuries before humans set off fossil fuel-driven global warming.
This is problematic, said a study in the journal Nature, as the same data models used to anticipate that global warming would cause record rainfall extremes in the 1900s, are the basis for projections of things to come.
"It might be more difficult than often assumed to project into the future," the study's lead author Fredrik Ljungqvist of Stockholm University told AFP of the findings.
"The truth can be much, much more complicated."
The UN's climate science panel, the consensus authority, contends that dry areas will become ever drier and wet ones wetter as the global temperature rises in response to greenhouse gas emissions.
But the new work said sky-high temperatures in the 20th century did not directly translate into record extremes between wet and dry weather, as many had expected.
This meant that "much of the change is not only driven by temperature, but some internal, more random variability," explained Ljungqvist.
"It's therefore very, very hard also to predict (precipitation extremes) with models."
Over the study period, drought was most severe during the 12th century, which was a warm one, and the 15th which was cold, said the scientist.

Globull Varming Sells!
Jaaaa!!!
FLAWED???? The hell you say. Computers are PERFECT, if they say it then it must be so.
Am I the only one whose gut tells him/her that the West's "watermelons" (green on the outside,red on the inside) will find a way to explain away this "problem"?
Heretics! Global Climate Change Deniers!
You should be burned at the stake, only that would cause more Global Climate Change. Curses, foiled again.
Need more money!
Ljungqvist is my middle name! I can’t pronounce it, but it’s still my middle name!
Whenever these "scientists" get real world data that doesn't match their model they find a cause like we are in climate remission or the ocean is unexpectedly acting as a heat sink.
Never do they say "We made a bad assumption with our formula or it's variables".
I got this far before I stopped reading, due to the absurd "before humans set off fossil fuel-driven global warming."
Hard to accept a presumably fact driven article which immediately degenerates into 'taking as a given' the 'fossil fuel driven' fraudulent current dependence on totally wrong (useless?) climate computer models.
Seems like a stupid thing to reorder the economy of all advanced countries based on incompetence or, more likely, fraud.
People seriously need to study the extremes of climate (not weather!) between the 9th and 15th centuries. The current brouhaha pales into total ignorance or willful malevolence.

H2O: Dangerous Chemical!
A student at Eagle Rock Junior High won first prize at the Greater Idaho Falls Science Fair, April 26. He was attempting to show how conditioned we have become to alarmists practicing junk science and spreading fear of everything in our environment. In his project he urged people to sign a petition demanding strict control or total elimination of the chemical “dihydrogen monoxide.”
And for plenty of good reasons, since:
1. it can cause excessive sweating and vomiting
2. it is a major component in acid rain
3. it can cause severe burns in its gaseous state
4. accidental inhalation can kill you
5. it contributes to erosion
6. it decreases effectiveness of automobile brakes
7. it has been found in tumors of terminal cancer patients
He asked 50 people if they supported a ban of the chemical.
•Forty-three (43) said yes,
•six (6) were undecided,
•and only one (1) knew that the chemical was water.
The title of his prize winning project was, “How Gullible Are We?”
He feels the conclusion is obvious.
I’ll bet that global warming somehow affected the computers that were running the computer models. Maybe they over heated. Maybe rising oceans displaced the programmers and caused them to err in creating faulty models. Somehow it’s George Bush’s fault. Of this, I am certain.
Accepting the lie, and trying to explain it away.
They already have.
The "new Science:" Global Warming is the cause of every negative thing."
The Science is now closed.
“They considered geologically preserved evidence of stream flow, lake levels, marine and lake sediments, tree rings and historical records.”
They also read tea leaves, interpreted strewn chicken bones, with the aid of a voodoo priestess, and rolled a pair of dice over a thousand times to substantiate their consensus.
Patriots, as a side note to this thread, please bear the following in mind concerning PC global warming.
Even if global warming had been proven by the consistent results of repeatable, scientific method-based experiments, it remains that the states have never delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate environmental protection issues.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
I notice that the author of this article does not give his name. He should be THROWN IN JAIL for expressing doubt about the scientific truth of Global Warming. And this article should be given an X rating to prevent children from reading it!
Climate deniers are criminals! They must be punished!
