Scientists Blame Global Warming for Heat Wave, But Fail to Back It Up

Desperate Climate Scientists Blame Bad Weather On Global Warming



After decades of debunking and statements by responsible scientists that climate is not weather and individual anomalies are not an indication of climate change, the government funded IPCC lackeys at the UK's Met Office and America's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration have publicly attributed recent bad weather events to man-made climate change. These irresponsible boffins' shrill claims illustrate the desperation in the anthropogenic global warming (AGW) camp in the face of declining public concern over climate change. While admitting that it is impossible to blame a single event on global warming, climate alarmists are claiming attribution is possible as long as it is framed in terms of probability. They have gone from lies, to damn lies and now, finally, to statistics. --Doug L Hoffman, The Resilient Earth, 11 July 2012
Global-warming alarmists have reemerged with a vengeance following the recent heat wave featuring record temperatures across the nation and dozens of wildfires throughout the West. But how much has global warming contributed? At least two climate change scientists refused to identify any possible threshold, with one declaring, “I honestly don’t think you can really put a number right on it.” When pressed by Associated Press science reporter Seth Borenstein on the connection between global warming to recent events, Dr. Michael Oppenheimer and Dr. Steven Running, two of the panelists showcased by Climate Communication, rejected the line of questioning, refusing to offer any estimate. --Michael Sandoval, The Foundry, 11 July 2012 Scientists have discovered that plants, trees and soil have abruptly increased their atmospheric carbon dioxide intake in the last 20 years. The land biosphere was taking in about one billion tonnes of carbon per year since 1988, equal to about 10 per cent of the global fossil fuel emissions for 2010. "We were completely taken by surprise by the findings. It's opened up a whole new series of questions." --Kieran Campbell, New Zealand Herald, 11 July 2012

The wave of bankruptcies in the solar industry continues unabated - and once again, investors lose a lot of money. Meanwhile, Germany’s large solar companies have lost almost 25 billion Euros on the stock market. At its peak, the large German solar companies were worth more than 25 billion Euros, according to calculations by Handelsblatt online. Today, all together have only a market capitalization of 1.12 billion Euros. According to a study by the consulting firm Oliver Wyman, “in the future, only about ten manufacturers will dominate the global solar market." That a German company will be among them is unlikely. --Jörg Hackhausen, Handelsblatt, 11 July 2012 Summer will arrive early tomorrow with a 17C temperature swing finally delivering sweltering highes of 27C as experts forecast a sweltering summer on a par with the record-breaking 2003 and 2006 scorchers. Weather Services International, part of the Weather Channel, said the ‘pressure blocking’ system which made recent summers cool and wet has disappeared. Instead, forecasters expect hot and dry high pressure systems, comparable with patterns which delivered the 2003 and 2006 scorchers. WSI chief meteorologist Dr Todd Crawford said: “The last four summers have been fairly wet and cool across the UK. “We expect a summer pattern more like 2002-06, with above-normal temperatures. --The Daily Telegraph, 21 May 2012
