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."
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'

- DESPITE RECORD LOSSES IN 2017, GLOBAL CATASTROPHE LOSSES ARE TRENDING DOWN
- 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;
- 2017 Global Hurricane Activity Almost 20% Below Normal …Southern Hemisphere Near Record Low
- 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.

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.
- Warmist Naomi Klein warns of ‘climate chaos’ – Declares: Trump presidency ‘could echo through geologic time’
Warmist Naomi Klein tells UK Labour Party convention about a "world so upside down" due to "climate chaos."
"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."

Al Gore’s Climate TRACE finds vast undercounts of CO2 emissions by industry – Gore’s CO2 tracing seeks to make ‘more enforceable climate agreements’ by giving the ‘UN actionable intelligence to track & crack down on polluters’
Climate TRACE utilizes satellite data, machine learning and artificial intelligence to determine greenhouse gas emissions globally. It aims usher in an era of "radical transparency" and a more enforceable climate agreement by giving nonprofits, governments and the UN actionable intelligence to track and crack down on polluters.

The Media Is Lying About Greenland and Climate Change – It has in fact rained on Greenland before
Last week, media outlets across the globe claimed that there has been rain for the first time at the Greenland summit. “Rain fell at the normally snowy summit of Greenland for the first time on record,” read CNN’s headlines. Others went a step further and declared it a sign of climate doomsday. “Rain On Greenland Ice Sheet, Possibly A First, Signals Climate Change Risk,” read another headline. Unfortunately, for the mainstream media, climate history nearly always comes back to haunt their claims of unprecedented events. Records reveal that this is not the first rainfall in Greenland, and certainly not the first on the Greenland summit peak, which stands at around 10,000 feet.
