Surprise: Climate Cult Scientist Admits Main Purpose Is To Influence Politics

That’s what this really amounts to

From the link, which is really trying to show that the big tornadoes the other day were because you drove a fossil fueled vehicle

To the people who experienced these events firsthand, such conclusions can provide powerful proof of the urgency—and the catastrophic consequences—of global warming. “It’s critically important to humanizing climate change,” says Swain, who divides his time between research, including attribution studies, and climate communication via his popular Twitter feed and blog.

This intimate connection with the needs and concerns of the general public makes extreme event attribution unusual among the sciences, where public communication often takes a backseat. “Our motivation for why we do what we do is to provide the public with the information they need to make choices for their future,” says Deepti Singh, a climate scientist at Washington State University Vancouver who studies events like extreme rain in India to understand the on-the-ground effects of climate change.

That’s really not how science works, except with a cult. They’re trying to conform the outcomes of “science” to fit their beliefs.

Today, attribution studies use two main sources of data: climate models, which can predict what weather might look like today had climate change never happened, and historical data, which show what the weather was actually like before it kicked into gear. Taken together, they can help researchers quantify how often, under each condition, things like daily temperatures would exceed a particular baseline, or monthly rainfall would be below some threshold. As long as an extreme event can be characterized in terms of those kinds of constraints, it can in theory be analyzed with the techniques of extreme event attribution.

And they keep changing historical data, which, for the most part, doesn’t let us compare what happened during previous Holocene warm periods, to what is happening today. Computer models simply give them the answers they want to support the cult.

The actual headline at the CNN cult screed reads “Climate change likely played a role in this weekend’s deadly tornadoes. The question is how.” That’s putting the cart before the horse. The outcome before doing the science. And, yes, I’ve mostly avoided the whole “climate crisis made the tornado” stuff, because it is making me abnormally angry that they immediately used all those deaths to push their cult. Maybe I need a “global warming aholes” category.

    I’m old enough to remember the 1974 ‘super outbreak’ of tornadoes.

    April 4, 1974, which my girlfriend and I named the Tornado God Festival Day. The sky that evening was a yellowish grey, and alive with lightning, though no twister hit within our sight. That was 47½ years ago, when CO2 levels were lower than today.

    I was four or five, so,58 or 59, staying with the grandparents in Reydon Oklahoma for the summer and the tornado alarm siren was getting used. Looking out one window my sister and I counted twelve or thirteen funnel clouds. I can’t say they all touched down, but out there was mostly just dirt.
    The point is, the whole GW thing is a load of crap. Some of us are old enough to have enough experience to see what Was and what Is and know they are lying to us. Young people Don’t. My twenty year old grandson is a Believer.. Because he has been Taught it in school. It’s THE correct answer on tests,bet on it. Just like when I was in history class in Odessa Texas and the question was
    What was the cause of the civil war?
    The Only answer that didn’t get the Red X was
    Slavery.
    Took me decades to find enough stuff to let me see that was not true.

      It is interesting to go over statements and writings from the era of The War of Northern Aggression. Charles Dickson stated the cause was power politics. But the one that got me was from Spooner, the big abolitionist , who clearly stated it had nothing to do with slavery. Of course the man who started the war, Lincoln, stated his purpose was to collect the tax. Then there is the fact that once the division occurred, you had the US who kept and endorsed slavery fighting the CSA to end slavery.

    The scientist said she gives people the scientific information they need for making choices for the future.

    Duh. What’s wrong with that?

    Climate change deniers are getting more and more wackadoodle.

      There is nothing wrong with that . . . when you are talking about individuals taking decisions concerning their own actions. The problems arise when people try to enforce their decisions on other people through the government and the police power of the state.

        Duh. There’s a lot wrong with that. Who decides what “scientific information” is correct? We already learned through Fauci, the CDC and WHO they are all liars for their cause so who are we supposed to believe? Will they also give people alternatives or only what she/they deem true information. We all know the answer because we’re living in an era of national psychosis where the leaders just make crap up them “mandate” us to obey or be beaten, incarcerated and fined. The executions will come later. When you give leftists power they abuse it. Ask Adolf and Uncle Joe. Whenever leftists are in charge mass graves are not far behind. We are currently in the same situation as Germans in 1936. We have an incompetent idiot at the helm and his demented followers control all the levers of power. When we reach 1941 levels like Australia our neighbors will begin to disappear as will our bank accounts. That’s why brandons BBB scheme requires 80,000 new IRS agents to force 614 billionaires to “pay their fair share”.

      Or what she thinks they need.
      For their own good BTW. https://www.thepiratescove.us/wp-content/plugins/wp-monalisa/icons/wpml_scratch.gif

    And climate alarmists still can’t link “extreme weather” to “global warming”.
