Climate Expert: What The Media Won’t Tell You About Droughts

Europe is in the midst of what has been called the worst drought in 500 years. According to a drought expert with the European Commission in comments last week [bold, links added]:

“We haven’t analysed fully the event (this year’s drought), because it is still ongoing, but based on my experience I think that this is perhaps even more extreme than 2018. Just to give you an idea the 2018 drought was so extreme that, looking back at least the last 500 years, there were no other events similar to the drought of 2018, but this year I think it is really worse than 2018.

”While a full analysis of the ongoing 2022 European drought remains to be completed, so too the drought itself, which is clearly exceptional if not unprecedented. In this post, I take a close look at the state of understanding of the possible role of climate change in this year’s drought.

Droughts happen, that's why they build reservoirs and grain silos.

Extrapolation of one or two years of data into a 500 year statistical analysis is joke.

There is a huge meteorological difference in climate vs. weather.

Did any of these idiots take STAT 201?

We in New England are experiencing a drought at the moment.

The reason? There have been virtually no tropical storms or hurricanes in the Atlantic basin, all season long. 

This, in spite of the fact that NOAA and NWS have repeatedly and hysterically predicted an "above normal" hurricane season.

Amazing season so far.   August 16th, and we are only through the "C" storm.  But don't get your guard down.  From my experience this season has a "1980 feel" to it.  Like in 1980, when the season started it started with a bang, with one of the biggest monster storms in history.  The "A" storm Allen didn't hit the U.S. until Aug 8, as a 190 mph Cat 5.  What happens when you have an absense of storm activity, the latent heat in the Carribean and Gulf becomes a boiling caldron for the potential of monster storms.

In the grand scheme 1980 was a light year for storms, but tell that to the people who lived on about a 200 mile stretch of the central Texas coast.

Eastern New England is experiencing an extreme drought, this year.

Last year, Boston rainfall was 12 inches above average.

These weather extremes could be caused by astro-physics of Earth's rotation and solar orbit; Earth's volcanism, or lack thereof; el nino/la nina; God's wrath; cow farts; internal combustion engines; or anything else.

What gets lost in the Green Communist Global Climate Change nonsense, is that we need to direct resources towards climate resiliency.  Government should be planning, and building, new reservoirs, desalinzation plants, and other water infrastructure to accomodate population and economic growth.

I don't know what's causing this year's weather / climate, but I do know that we need to heed the lesson of Joseph in the Bible - there will be times of surplus and times of deprivation - we need to plan accordingly.
