Obviously, weather patterns never changed before Man invented the fossil fueled combustion engine, and big rains never happened before CO2 crossed the safe threshold of 350ppm. Here’s Joe Romm’s George Soros funded Climate Progress
The redistribution of rainfall predicted by climate change modeling is playing out in real life, a new study by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has found.
The research, published Monday in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, is the first study to find the signal of climate change in global precipitation shifts across land and sea. According to The Australian, large-scale studies to date have overlooked the 77 percent of global rainfall that occurs over the oceans.
The initial change has resulted in wet areas, such as the tropics, becoming wetter, while drier regions such as deserts have become more arid. The effect is expected to worsen as climate change continues to worsen.
According to the study, greenhouse gasses affect the distribution of precipitation through two mechanisms. Increasing temperatures that are expected to make wet regions wetter and dry regions drier (thermodynamic changes) and changes in atmospheric circulation patterns will push storm tracks and subtropical dry zones toward the poles.
And, of course they Blame Mankind, with the lead author, Kate Marvel, claiming that the changes cannot be explained by natural variability alone, it must be you and your reliance on your fossil fueled vehicle. Cause nature never changed before. The Climate Creationists have spoken.
And, yes, this is a meme, with lots of news articles on the subject over the past 24 hours. If only Warmists would give up their own fossil fueled travel, unplug the fridge, turn off the AC, heat their homes with solar power, and give up the hairspray, Gaia would be saved.
