Scientists link record-breaking February weather to man-made global warming
Washington Post ^ | March 16, 2017

March has provided an unexpected dose of winter, but a freakishly balmy February broke more than 11,700 local daily records for warmth in the United States.

An international science team calculated that man-made global warming tripled the likelihood for the nation’s unusually warm month. The team, known as World Weather Attribution, uses accepted scientific techniques to figure if climate change plays a role in extreme events based on computer simulations of real-world conditions and of a world without heat-trapping gases.

Natural random weather variations and climate change combined to make it a weird February, meteorologists said.

Overall, NOAA said it was the sixth warmest U.S. winter on record, about 3.7 degrees warmer than the 20th century average.

A March frost could kill early blooming trees and flowers and the lack of a proper winter could lead to more mosquitoes and ticks this year, Vecchi said.

“What is lurking behind the corner while we’re outside throwing a Frisbee might be looking to make our lives less pleasant,” he said.

It’s called lying liars, getting paid to lie. The books have been cooked too many times. They have no credibility.

They still can’t forecast weather in a reliable fashion for 48 hrs into the future.

Too hot? Too cold? Too stable? Whatever the situation, you need more government grants and less industrialization and more redistribution of wealth.

“Climate Change” is simply Marxism. It’s economics. It’s politics. It has nothing to do with science.

For much of the central US, March is the snowiest month because warm moist air from the Gulf streams into the colder north.

Are these scientists eyes brown, or are they a quart low?

February 1930 had some similar warm days throughout the country. So, it’s not as though it’s inconceivable for temperatures to be this warm this time of year. It’s rare, yes, but it has happened before. And it happened before urbanization and the growth of greenhouse gases.

Was there “man made global warming” in California in 1861 and 1862?

Massive amounts of rain fell there in the early days of the Civil War, and the Central Valley was under water. (That’s the San Joaquin Valley and the Sacramento Valley for those of you in Rio Linda).

How much are these so-called scientists being paid in order to spread these lies?

When “the scientists” talk about records, how far back do these records go?

Somebody needs to teach these so called “scientists” that all weather is local. When “da monster storm Stella” was dropping 20 and 30 feet of snow in New Yawk, it was like spring here in northern Arizona.
