Meteorologist: AP’s ‘Juiced’ Weather Claims Collapse Under Scrutiny
Climate change is not triggering more extreme weather.

The Associated Press (AP) recently published an article titled “From Deluges To Drought, Climate Change Speeds Up Water Cycle, Triggers More Extreme Weather.” The article is false. [emphasis, links added]
Evidence clearly indicates that no changes in extreme weather trends are found in the data, and as such, no changes can be tied to climate change.
“Scientists have warned for decades that rising global temperatures would juice the water cycle, leading to more intense storms, worse droughts, and more chaotic shifts between the two,” says the AP’s article.
This tired trope assumes climate change drives individual weather events, a point factually refuted repeatedly in rebuttals at Climate Realism.
