The Scott Pruitt "If the models are all wrong" thread

That's the point.  The overdevelopment of the coast is likely a contributor to these nuisance floods IMO.

Apparently the DOD has made the main focus of their strategic planning conditioning our military in how to handle harsher weather brought about by climate change.  Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)

I've been watching the coast for years now, and it isn't here either.

I heard a radio thing last week about the amt of nuisance floods in certain areas of the country.  There was one in the south east(don't remember where) but they were talking about how the avg per year a decade ago was 4 per year.  Now they have 40 per year.  Nuisance being a higher tide that equates to a portion of their ocean front downtown getting a couple inches of water in the main level of their businesses.  The segment noted how it has been increasing yearly.  Not Armageddon, obvsly, but something.

. It couldn't possibly be land use or any other hydrological issue.  It has to be AGW.

It was sea level slash tides related. We were listening to NPR at the same time!

The east and gulf coasts have always been a swamps/sinking.

FSD, what's your favorite NPR feature? Mine is definitely the supreme court transcripts read by Nina Totenberg.

All things considered

Science Friday, Market Place Tech, or the one where they confuse increased nuisance flooding for living in a swamp.

Its like I always say, if the reporting personality isn't pushing gold or their own brand of tea drinks, you simply can't rely on the Info.

All roads lead to AGW.   Whatever ails the environment and/or whatever environmental woes that populated areas experience be they drought, flood, storm et. al.  It is all to be blamed on AGW.   That's the new thought process.

I heard climate change caused the rain postponement, too, potentially ruining the Royals' mojo. Is there anything good and decent in this world that is not vulnerable to climate change?

This year will likely go down as having the fewest (or close to it) 90 degree or above days recorded by weather stations in U.S. meteorological history.

Has anyone ever estimated the total volume of crap we have chucked into our oceans.  Put a fat guy in the tub, it rises.   Make our oceans cesspools, and no telling what the weather will do.  Hopefully some day the ocean doesn't belch up big bubble of toxic sewer gas and head for California.   Hate to relocate those suckers to Kansas.  Imagine what dust storms would be like.   I read yesterday this is one of the coolest years on record.   There may be something going on with climate, but meteorologist Al Obama can only predict conditions for a golf course.

It's been pretty great.

Oh no, an historical weather record 100 years in the making.

Looks like another long, cold winter. Should we be looking at ways to warm mother earth?

[K-S-U-Wildcats!]

But I assume somewhere else is currently experiencing record heat, and that's our fault. NPR would know.

At present, Alaska is as warm as the Midwest is cold. You're getting the hang of this meteorology stuff, you willfully ignorant piece of crap!
