The Media’s Relentless Climate-Fueled Extreme-Weather Nonsense—Part 2
by Roger Pielke Jr.  1 hour ago

 

This is Part 2 in the series — Climate-Fueled Extreme Weather. You can find Part 1 here, which introduces some concepts and ideas that will be important throughout the series.

In May, I testified before the Senate Budget Committee and summarized what the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said about trends in drought.

My testimony included the figure below showing a decrease in the areal extent of extreme drought conditions in the United States.

I also included another figure that showed an increase in extreme drought conditions across the United States.

Completing the set, I also included the figure below, showing no trend in U.S. extreme drought conditions.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

scaring people is good for ratings, which is good for revenue, which is good for profits
