  • Trump Disputes Death Toll From Hurricane Maria Was 3,000 – Puerto Rican Gov. admitted higher ‘death toll is only an approximation, not a concrete list of names’

    Related Links:

    CNN still relying on that debunked Puerto Rico death toll to bash Trump - 'Harvard study had an insanely huge margin of error, putting a low estimate of 798 and a high of over 8,000, w/ a horribly unscientific methodology...researchers took one number — 15 deaths identified from a survey of 3,299 households — and extrapolated that to come up with 4,645 deaths across the island."

    Flashback: Puerto Rican Gov. admitted higher 'death toll is only an approximation, not a concrete list of names'

    The death toll is 'a very broad estimate for the number of people who died above what you’d expect to see in a normal year' - 'But that number is not a count of the death toll in Puerto Rico caused by Hurricane Maria. Instead, it’s just the midpoint of a wide-ranging estimate of the possible number of deaths'

  • Analysis: Global weather related disaster loss trend is downward from 1990 to 2017

    Extreme weather expert Dr. Roger Pielke Jr.: The figure above shows the annual costs of weather disasters (data from Munich Re) as a proportion of global GDP (data from the UN), from 1990 to 2017.

    2017 ranks 2nd to 2005;
    The dataset is dominated by US hurricanes (accounting for about 70% of losses);
    The trend from 1990 to 2017 is downward;
    6 of past 10 years have been below average;

  • CO2 Emissions Growing Strongly Again

    Le Quere has this to say in the Tyndall Centre’s press release on the topic today:

    This year we have seen how climate change can amplify the impacts of hurricanes with more intense rainfall, higher sea levels and warmer ocean conditions favouring more powerful storms.

    http://www.tyndall.ac.uk/news/record-high-co2-emissions-delay-global-peak

    As we know, there is absolutely no evidence whatsoever for this statement.

     

    It is a sad state of affairs when supposedly objective scientists are prepared to lie to support their beliefs.

    2017 Hurricane Season: Empirical Evidence Confirms Activity Not Unprecedented – Overall, Close To Average — So Far

     'The 2017 season in the Atlantic region is not even ranked among the top 5 historically in 6 of 7 key metrics (so far) through mid-October.'

    "While Atlantic has obviously had very active #hurricane season, N. Hemisphere has experienced average TC activity by most metrics to date," hurricane expert Phil Klotzbach wrote on October 16, 2017.

  • GORE: GLOBAL WARMING IS MAKING WILDFIRES AND HURRICANES WORSE

    The 9th annual conference comes during a time where ongoing wildfires are ripping through northern California, leaving at least 35 people dead across four counties. “All over the West we’re seeing these fires get much, much worse,” said Gore, theLas Vegas Sun reports. “The underlying cause is the heat.” In particular, he blamed the reliance on fossil fuels for allowing hurricanes to get as destructive as they have been. “The heart of it is that we still depend on fossil fuels,” he said.

    "Whether it's climate change or the nuclear threat, Trump represents a crisis -- that if left unchecked -- could echo through geologic time."

    "It's bleak out there. A world so upside down...Whole regions rocked by climate chaos."

    "The Caribbean and the southern U.S. are in the midst of an unprecedented hurricane season. Pounded by storm after record breaking storm."

  • The Return of the Dead: Countering Species Extinction Claims – The most aggressive claims rest on shaky foundations’

    In the last 500 years only some 80 mammals are recorded as having gone extinct. In his book, More From Less, Andrew McAfee, a board member of HumanProgress.org, discusses how relatively rare recorded extinctions are – with some 530 across all species in the last five centuries. More importantly, he notes, the rate of extinction “appear[s] to have slowed down in recent decades; for example, no marine creatures have been recorded as extinct in the last fifty years.”

    Matt Ridley, another board member and frequent contributor to this site, argues that despite the human population doubling in the last half-century, “the extinction rate of wild species, especially in the most industrialized countries,” seems to have fallen rather than increased. While absence of evidence isn’t the same as evidence of absence, and there might be millions of unrecorded species in the world’s oceans and tropical forests, the most aggressive claims rest on shaky foundations.

  • CNN report buries this good news in paragraph 12 on polar bears: ‘They are doing quite well…Svalbard’s polar bear numbers do not appear to have decreased in the last 20 years’

    CNN: Jon Aars, a senior researcher at the Norwegian Polar Institute: "Polar bears are optimistic animals," Aars says. "It seems that they are quite resistant, and they are doing quite well despite the fact that they've lost a lot of their habitat." Despite the odds, Svalbard's polar bear numbers do not appear to have decreased in the last 20 years, he says.

  • Statistical politics: Prof. Mike Hulme on ‘politically charged’ climate baseline changes from 1961-1990 to 1991-2020: ‘In an instant; today, the world’s climate has ‘suddenly’ become nearly 0.5°C warmer’

    Hulme: "January  12021, a new World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) climatological standard normal came into effect. The ‘present-day’ climate will now formally be
    represented by the meteorological statistics of the period 1991-2020, replacing those from 1961-1990. National Meteorological Agencies in member states are instructed to issue new standard normals for observing stations and for associated climatological products. Climate will ‘change’, one might say, in an instant; today, the world’s climate has ‘suddenly’ become nearly 0.5°C warmer. It is somewhat equivalent to re-setting Universal Time or adjusting the exact definition of a metre." ...

    "So, what is the significance of the move to a new 1991-2020 WMO normal in January 2021? On the one hand, it is a pragmatic move to redefine ‘present-day’ climate for operational applications to that of the most recent 30-year period. On the other hand, it puts into play a third climatic baseline. Already existing is the ‘pre-industrial’ climate of the late nineteenth century and the ‘historic’ climate’ of 1961-1990, the latter about 0.3°C warmer than the former. And now there is the new ‘present-day’ climate of 1991-2020, in turn about 0.5°C warmer than the ‘historic climate’ of 1961-1990." ...

    "Combining a climatic tolerance of 2°C—or indeed 1.5°C—with a pre-industrial baseline yields a very different climate target than, say, using a 1986-2005 baseline, the period widely adopted by IPCC AR5 Working Group I as their analytical baseline. The choices of both baseline and tolerance are politically charged. They carry significant implications for historic liability for emissions (La Rovere et al., 2002), for policy design (Millar et al., 2017) and for possible reparations (Roberts & Huq, 2015)."

  • A new temperature pause? Zero global warming for 5 years 4 months

    Christopher Monckton: "At long last, following the warming effect of the El Niño of 2016, there are signs of a reasonably significant La Niña, which may well usher in another Pause in global temperature, which may even prove similar to the Great Pause that endured for 224 months from January 1997 to August 2015, during which a third of our entire industrial-era influence on global temperature drove a zero trend in global warming. ... As we come close to entering the la Niña, the trend in global mean surface temperature has already been zero for 5 years 4 months. 

    However, the new Pause is at a surface-temperature plateau 0.3 C° above the old Pause."
