Climate Change Denier tapped to head EPA
|
Quote:Serious damage has been proven many times around the world, including the USA. WRONG! There are always damaging weather events. Consider hurricanes and typhoons. There has been no change in the frequency of these. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) index gives a reasonable measure of total hurricane intensity per year. It is widely accepted as a standard in the field (i.e. your 97% accept that). The ACE varies a lot from year to year, but the overall trend is downwards. If you believe that the globe is warming, then you should note that a warmer world has less total hurricane energy. Tornadoes are also down. You mention a large number of "named storms" but there are two non-climate explanations for this. First, we've gotten much better at detecting storms. Before satellite coverage many storms that were formed out to sea were just unknown. Secondly, there has been a switch to doppler radar in measuring a storm's wind speed, and this measures the speed much higher than earlier methods, and overstates the wind speed. The wind speed of Matthew measured at the ground level and by buoys never got close to the Cat 3 and 4 numbers that were being released by NOAA. Extreme cold weather events and blizzards cause many more deaths than warm weather. Biodiversity is orders of magnitude higher in warm regions. If the planet is warming then that's good for man and beast. "Why should I give information to you when all you want to do is find something wrong with it?"
