“All Events Nowadays Are Augmented By ‘Climate Change'” Or Something

This is what science looks like when it’s consumed by a doomsday cult

From the cult screed

At least five people died as a powerful and extremely unusual storm system swept across the Great Plains and midwest amid unseasonably warm temperatures, spawning hurricane-force winds and possible tornadoes in Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota. (snip through some of the other weather)

The storm shifted north of the Great Lakes into Canada on Thursday, with high winds, snow and hazardous conditions continuing in the upper Great Lakes region, the National Weather Service said. More than 400,000 homes and businesses were without electricity in Michigan, Wisconsin, Iowa and Kansas, according to poweroutage.us, which tracks utility reports.

High winds, snow and other harsh weather conditions were reported north of the Great Lakes area, according to the National Weather Service. At least 13 tornadoes were reported on Wednesday, with high winds clocking in at over 70mph throughout parts of Kansas, Nebraska and Iowa.

“To have this number of damaging wind storms at one time would be unusual any time of year,” said Brian Barjenbruch, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Valley, Nebraska. “But to have this happen in December is really abnormal.”

Snow and weather is unusual? Tornadoes might by less than normal, but, there is a long history of them happening periodically in December. So are windy conditions. Weather happens. Weird/unusual weather happens all the time, because the Earth’s system is dynamic. It is not fully predictable and always as expected.

Scientists have said that extreme weather events are probably due to human-caused climate change, but trying to find a cause for a specific weather event, such as storms throughout many regions in the US, requires additional analysis that requires time and can be inconclusive.

“I think we also need to stop asking the question of whether or not this event was caused by climate change. All events nowadays are augmented by climate change,” said Northern Illinois University meteorology professor Victor Gensini.

“We need to be asking, ‘to what extent did climate change play a role and how likely was this event to occur in the absence of climate change?”’

So, they cannot say with scientific certainly, but, they’re happy to say it with climate cult certainty.

    Generally true.

    Teach: they cannot say with scientific certainly (sic)

    More all-or-none thinking and typing. Teach refuses to understand that there are few scientific certainties; which is the nature of scientific enquiry. Theories are refutable with evidence.

      The irony is thick, coming from a True Believer.

      Jeff,
      Just a rehash of your crap. You have been educated in the scientific method here, produce evidence. Get the p value right this time.

        david porter,

        Your typical BS. The only education we]ve received here is of the frightful ignorance and hatred of right-wing extremists. Honestly, I had no idea how ignorant, dishonest and hateful right-wingers are. So yes, quite an education. Clearly you know nothing of the scientific method.

          We here are not right wing extremists it only looks that way from where you are way over there on the left in bed with the Red Chinese, the BLM Marxists, the Antifa Fascists and the rest of the radical progressive American left. From where you are Mr. Rogers was a Proud Boy and Jesus a Qanon insurrectionist.

          You and those like you have left the reservation years ago and to this day can’t stop your lying about Russia, Russia, Russia, Trump, Trump supporters, the fake news, the phony insurrection, lying about the 70 year old and counting Global warming scam, the BS about Covid “vaccine” that protects no one and all the silliness about crazy Joe the usurper’ fantastic accomplishments.

          “So things are working just as you would expect under the Biden regime.
          Market Watch reported:
          The U.S. current account deficit widened 8.3% to $214.8 billion in the third quarter, the Commerce Department said Tuesday. It is the largest deficit since 2006. The trade gap has widened for seven straight quarters.
          The widening of the deficit reflected a reduced surplus on services, which have been hit hard by the coronavirus.** The goods deficit widened in the third quarter.
          The deficit has been widening as strong U.S. domestic demand for goods continues to outpace foreign consumption.”
          ** That’s a lie. the reduced surplus on services have been hit hard and unnecessarily by the Biden junta’s horrible economic response to Covid, not by Covid itself.

          Cue the name calling.

    The answers are “indistinguishable from zero” and “about the same”, respectively.

    You’re welcome.

    “All events augmented by climate change..” And that’s proved by a special category of evidence-the invisible kind..
