Scientific Smackdown: Climatologist Dr. Judith Curry rips Kerry Emanuel’s response to Pielke Jr. on extreme weather as ‘not convincing to people looking for empirical evidence’
Curry: 'There is no evidence even of a trend in most extreme events; attributing any trend to AGW is extremely difficult. We can say that it is possible that global warming will make extreme weather events worse, but the evidence is theoretical. Bottom line is that RP Jr took a very defensible position in his essay.'
