Global Warming..Nope

NOAA Report Destroys Global Warming Link to Extreme Weather

Posted on November 3, 2014 Written by forbes.com

Sci­en­tists at the National Oceanic and Atmos­pheric Admin­is­tra­tion have demol­ished claims by global warm­ing activists that global warm­ing caused or wors­ened many extreme weather events last year.

Accord­ing to NOAA’s new pub­li­ca­tion, Explain­ing Extremes of 2013 from a Cli­mate Per­spec­tive, there is no dis­cernible con­nec­tion between global warm­ing and 2013 extreme weather events such as the Cal­i­for­nia drought, Col­orado floods, the UK’s excep­tion­ally cold spring, a South Dakota bliz­zard, Cen­tral Europe floods, a north­west­ern Europe cyclone, and excep­tional snow­fall in Europe’s Pyre­nees Mountains.

The Cal­i­for­nia drought pro­vides a good exam­ple of global warm­ing activists mak­ing false and irre­spon­si­ble claims regard­ing global warm­ing to delib­er­ately mis­lead peo­ple who aren’t famil­iar with sci­en­tific stud­ies and evi­dence. The lib­eral Cen­ter for Amer­i­can Progress and its media allies such as the Wash­ing­ton Post, San Jose Mer­cury News, Asso­ci­ated Press, and oth­ers have all pub­lished sto­ries claim­ing global warm­ing caused or wors­ened the ongo­ing Cal­i­for­nia drought. Sci­en­tists, how­ever, say just the oppo­site. “[F]or the Cal­i­for­nia drought, which was inves­ti­gated by three teams from the United States, human fac­tors were found not to have influ­enced the lack of rain­fall,” NOAA reported in an accom­pa­ny­ing press release.

Adding addi­tional empha­sis to the NOAA publication’s find­ings, sci­en­tists reported in the peer-reviewed Pro­ceed­ings of the National Acad­emy of Sci­ences that nat­ural fac­tors such as ocean cur­rent cycles and vary­ing wind pat­terns caused most of the warm­ing along the U.S. West Coast since 1900.

So, sci­en­tists report that most of the warm­ing in Cal­i­for­nia is nat­ural, and the evi­dence shows no link between global warm­ing and the Cal­i­for­nia drought. Nev­er­the­less, agenda-driven activist groups and their media lap­dogs repeat­edly tell the lie that global warm­ing is caus­ing California’s drought. Iron­i­cally – or not – Pres­i­dent Barack Obama and Sec­re­tary of State John Kerry fre­quently claim global warm­ing is respon­si­ble for the Cal­i­for­nia drought, all the while claim­ing peo­ple who dis­agree with them are mem­bers of the Flat Earth Soci­ety. Some­body tell that to the fed­eral government’s own sci­en­tists at NOAA.

Sim­i­larly, global warm­ing alarmists fre­quently claim global warm­ing causes extreme cold tem­per­a­tures and extreme snow­storms. Ana­lyz­ing two of these claims, NOAA found no evi­dence link­ing the events to global warm­ing. To the con­trary, NOAA reported “Analy­sis of UK cold spring showed the prob­a­bil­ity of occur­rence may have fallen 30-fold due to global warm­ing.” So, global warm­ing not only played no role in the UK’s cold 2013 spring, but global warm­ing made the dis­rup­tive event 30 times less likely than would oth­er­wise be the case. Nev­er­the­less, shame­less alarmists such as National Geo­graphic News claimed global warm­ing was respon­si­ble for the extremely cold spring. Despite the NOAA find­ings, National Geo­graphic News has yet to issue a retraction.

The dis­par­ity between sci­ence on the one hand and global warm­ing activists and alarmist media cov­er­age on the other hand is par­tic­u­larly strik­ing regard­ing the Col­orado floods of Sep­tem­ber 2013. Global warm­ing activists and their media allies wasted absolutely no time exploit­ing the vic­tims of the deadly floods to make irre­spon­si­ble claims that global warm­ing was to blame. NOAA sci­en­tists, how­ever, report global warm­ing played no role and may be mak­ing such tragic events less likely. Mod­el­ing of past and present Col­orado rain­fall events “found that the prob­a­bil­ity of another extreme 5-day rain­fall, like the one that caused wide­spread flood­ing in Boul­der, is esti­mated to have decreased because of human-caused cli­mate change,” NOAA reported.

Accord­ing to NOAA, heat waves were nev­er­the­less exac­er­bated by global warm­ing. Of course, any ampli­fi­ca­tion in heat waves is coun­ter­bal­anced by extreme cold events becom­ing 30 times less likely. Impor­tantly, global warming’s reduc­tion of extreme cold events pro­vides more human health and wel­fare ben­e­fits than any harm caused by an increase in heat waves. Offi­cial gov­ern­ment mor­tal­ity sta­tis­tics show peo­ple are much more likely to die dur­ing win­ter months and extreme cold events than dur­ing sum­mer months and heat waves.

The next time you hear politi­cians and global warm­ing activists claim global warm­ing is caus­ing or wors­en­ing extreme weather events, know that the objec­tive sci­ence shows they are telling self-serving lies.

  Global warming is a hoax perpetrated by the UN to launch a scam, UN Agenda 21. Everybody knows this, but the UN and Obama continue to promote the lie as if it were the truth. It’s like watching Hitler fail. Regional Commissions who receive federal grants to states to implement Agenda 21 are in disarray.
