Oh, I thought you meant NATURE, the journal.
I guess I’ll go back to sleep for another 20 yrs,
carbon copy of the ‘forever’ droughts predicted for SE Australia, now resembling an inland ocean.
The sad thing is not the story…it is how low SA has fallen in terms of quality of science.
I’m wondering how often things like this have to occur before someone realizes that it isn’t random. You want inclement weather? Go follow Al Gore around, or go to those silly climate summits, or find the alarmists latest talking points, droughts in the SW, or, hottest evuh! Brace your self for the most powerful hurricanes! Has anyone checked to see how many cyclones didn’t happen this year?
I received a subscription to SA last year and I had expected some bias in reporting on climate science. What really got me was that there were editorials that were nothing more than fairly harsh left wing promotional material. It got so bad in May I had to cancel and get a refund for the rest of the year. I have also heard that SA’s circulation has dropped off by half. Given the political leanings of the publication house that own it, I suspect bankruptcy may be necessary to bring SA back to science and move away from politics.
Sean,
Yeah, I canned SciAm after Climategate; up until then I just didn’t pay attention to how lefty they were. After Climategate I started seeing how slanted they were. Too bad. It was a nice magazine for a long while.
Incidentally, here in Arizona it has stopped raining, is brilliantly clear and a bit cold. At my place it gets into the 20s at night. I just came in off my property where I was sawing up some old dead trees and it is just beautiful outside.
We are definitely having a cold-snap right now but it’s nothing out of the ordinary. I have no idea what these media type are talking about when they claim disaster for this part of the world. Believe me, it’s just fine here in the southwest and I’m not going anywhere else to live no matter what the fools at SciAm or any other magazine says.
Arizona is a big state. I’ve lived in The Valley, Clarkdale, Sedona and Flagstaff. A world of difference between 20 in Tempe and -28 in Flagstaff.
I quit reading SA long ago. It was clear then that it is just a shill for the new religion. Quoting it only lends some credence to their long ago lost credibility.
