http://blurbrain.com/more-disappointing-news-for-climate-change-purveyors-of-doom/ Global warming propagandists, like Esquire Magazine are using the recent flooding in Houston (a natural bug swamp that floods regularly), to spread their malevolent, doom and gloom predictions of horror and calamity for the world if we don’t shut down those evil oil companies down right here, right now.
However, a new study debunks their claim. Turns out that there is no connection between temperature changes and rainfall or drought. In other words, drought can occur in colder periods as well as hotter periods, and the same goes for rain.
From The Washington Times:
newly released international study debunks climate models on global warming that forecast extreme rainfall and drought tied to temperature swings, casting doubt on disaster scenarios promoted by the climate-change movement.
The study in the journal Nature published Thursday examining Northern Hemisphere rainfall data going back 1,200 years found that today’s climate models were frequently wrong on predicting extreme rain and drought.
In the 20th century, for example, higher-than-average temperatures failed to produce wet-dry extremes, which contradicts the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s consensus that global warming will make dry areas drier and wet areas wetter.
The scientists also found periods of extreme variability in centuries prior to the Industrial Revolution and the rise of greenhouse-gas emissions in the atmosphere. For example, the study found severe drought in the 12th century, which was warmer than average, as well as the 15th century, which was colder.
“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, adding, “The truth can be much, much more complicated.”
Anthony Watts, who runs the climate-science website Watt’s Up With That, posted the results under the headline, “Ooops! Another big failure of the climate models — rainfall did not increase.”
