Hurricane Harvey snagged on the skyscrapers of Houston, causing it to slow and dump more rain than it normally would, one study found. The city’s massive amounts of paving had an even bigger impact by […]
Junk Scientists Weaponising Weather
Junk Scientists Weaponising Weather https://notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com/2018/05/13/junk-scientists-weaponising-weather/ By Paul Homewood It was inevitable that “scientists” would eventually blame Harvey on global warming. From the Washington Post: AS COASTAL cities brace for the coming hurricane season, the destruction of the last one is still having a big impact, particularly on the hobbled island of Puerto Rico. And scientists […]

DESPITE RECORD LOSSES IN 2017, GLOBAL CATASTROPHE LOSSES ARE TRENDING DOWN
Date: 06/02/18 Roger Pielke Jr., Risk Frontiers Despite record weather-related catastrophe losses last year, since 1990 total global catastrophe losses are down by about one third Last July, I observed here that the world had recently experienced an era of unusually low disasters and that streak of good luck was going to end sometime. Little could I […]

2017 Global Hurricane Activity Almost 20% Below Normal …Southern Hemisphere Near Record Low
Via: http://notrickszone.com/2017/11/26/2017-global-cyclone-energy-almost-20-below-normal-southern-hemisphere-near-record-low By P Gosselin on 26. November 2017 A look at Dr. Ryan Maue’s site here tells us a lot about how 2017 cyclone activity is doing as the Atlantic hurricane season winds down. In September the Atlantic indeed saw some powerful hurricanes, such as Harvey, Irma and Maria, which led the media into a fit of Armageddon hysteria and […]
Here’s The Inconvenient Truth Behind MIT’s Study Linking Hurricane Harvey To Global Warming
By MICHAEL BASTASCH A new study is making waves in the media, claiming to finally address the question of man-made global warming’s role in Hurricane Harvey’s record-setting rainfall.

If they had bothered to read the Paris Agreement and the INDCs, they would have known that was exactly what was intended. It surely must be obvious to Le Quere and […]
