Empirical evidence does not lend much support to the notion that climate is headed precipitately toward more extreme heat and drought. The drought of 1999 covered a smaller area than the 1988 drought, when the Mississippi almost dried up. And 1988 was a temporary inconvenience as compared with repeated droughts during the 1930s “Dust Bowl” that caused an exodus from the prairies, as chronicled in Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.
The U.S. has warmed during the past century, but the warming hardly exceeds year-to-year variability. Indeed, in the U.S. the warmest decade was the 1930s and the warmest year was 1934.
Disrupting the Borg is expensive and time consuming!

Hansen has such a load of cognitive dissonance with which to deal it is little wonder he is so off the wall now. We should feel sorry for him. We will someday.

“precipitately”: is that a word? Not in any list of adverbs….

Would have been a great opportunity for the “Pinhead-in-chief” to have mentioned the record flood in 1993 of the Mississippi Valley, that was a humdinger! He would not have wanted to expose that it was “blocking high”, the Bermuda high in this case, that became blocked on the gulf side of Florida and set up an express of “northbound moisture”.
I remember both anomalies very vividly…the 88 drought was the only time I ever saw them dredge in front of the St. Louis river front so that barges could get through. On the other hand during the flood of 93 enough water was coming down the river to have filled Busch Stadium every second..
Again, where people live, like in the US, there is not much change. But in parts of the globe where there is nobody, like the South Pacific and the Arctic, we have huge warming. Sound a little fishy?
