Blaming Extreme Weather On Global Warming Is Theater | Climate Dispatch

• Politics versus science in attributing extreme weather events to manmade global warming.

"...Specifically, with regards to detection and attribution, my bottom line conclusion was:

“In summary, the trend signal in hurricane activity has not yet had time to rise above the background variability of natural processes. Man-made climate change may have caused changes in hurricane activity that is not yet detectable due to the small magnitude of these changes compared to estimated natural variability, or due to observational limitations. But at this point, there is no convincing evidence that man-made global warming has caused a change in hurricane activity.”

I’m sure many would dismiss this conclusion as ‘denial’, in spite of the extensive documentation and logic of my arguments.

Let’s dig into:

• The latest from the hurricane researchers
• ‘Storylines’ from non-hurricane researchers
• Why blaming extreme events on AGW is important in ‘winning’ the public debate
• What happens when scientists get in the way of AGW activist ‘scare stories’ about extreme events
• ‘Scaring the children’ strategies..."
