CNN: Our climate plans are in pieces as killer summer shreds records
CNN ^ | August 7, 2018 | By Angela Dewan

Posted on 08/07/2018 12:10:17 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Deadly fires have scorched swaths of the Northern Hemisphere this summer, from California to Arctic Sweden and down to Greece on the sunny Mediterranean. Drought in Europe has turned verdant land barren, while people in Japan and Korea are dying from record-breaking heat.

Climate change is here and is affecting the entire globe -- not just the polar bears or tiny islands vulnerable to rising sea levels -- scientists say. It is on the doorsteps of everyday Americans, Europeans and Asians, and the best evidence shows it will get much worse.

Remarkably, scientists can now work out in just a matter of days how much human-induced climate change has had to do with a particular weather event, using a combination of observation, historical data and current information from weather stations.

Scientists have been able to use this kind of modeling for more than a decade, but improved technology now allows them to do it nearly in real time, letting people understand the links between what they are seeing and climate change.

Despite the deadly summer, overwhelming evidence that humans are altering the planet, and ever-improving science that links specific weather events to global warming, the international politics around the issue of climate change are in disarray. And there are alarming signs that the planet may be in worse shape than ever before.

"Remarkably, scientists can now work out in just a matter of days how much human-induced climate change has had to do with a particular weather event, using a combination of observation, historical data and current information from weather stations.

Climate "science" -- draw your lines, then plot your points. This is an admission that there is no SCIENCE there.

Using this yardstick I an work out in a matter of MINUTES how baseball scores yesterday were influenced by the number of hamburgers sold on July 17, 1973.

Even if every one the lofty CO2 reduction plans they suggested over the last several decades had been implemented, would it have made the slightest difference on this summer.
Yes/No/Unverifiable either way.

Many of them never actually leave their air conditioned offices or parents' basements, or bother to check actual weather records dating back. And they automatically believe whatever tripe that comes out of the mouths of two digit IQ news readers quoting computer models rigged to invariably report "Nothing like this has EVER happened before!".

They resemble people who hide for years in their basement fallout shelters, thinking the world has ended, only to finally work up the nerve to open the door and find that it never happened and that their neighbors have been wondering "What ever happened to the Smiths? They sure need to mow that f***ing lawn!".

Trumps fault... If he had of signed that Paris accord we would all be freezing, as per our usual summers here in Canada. Now it’s all hot and sticky... Like it used to be when we were kids. Hmmmm... The first ‘real’ summer we’ve had in many decades. I’ll never complain... Bring on the Global Warming, I’ve missed it.

As you can see very clearly in these charts courtesy of Joe Bastardi, the large band of cold water in the Atlantic – a vast surface area representing one-sixth of the world’s ocean – has left a skinny band of warm water to the north which is causing Europe’s heatwave.

And, remarkably, the models exactly reflect the personal views of the "scientists"!

What exactly would their “climate plans” have done to prevent this weather from happening? Nobody can ever tell me that part.

Well...don’t you know, out of control warming also means out of control cooling!

Lack of hurricanes is a sign too. As is an increase in hurricanes.

We must study how to employ sheep’s bladders to control these swings!

So far this summer in the NYC metro area has been like the two before it...not very hot at all. I’m comparing the last few years with what I am used to, working outdoors since 1982.
