Brad Johnson calls heavy rain in Oklahoma “fossil fuel powered”
He is referring to this:
Data showed that Oklahoma City has measured its all-time wettest month ever recorded, as rain continued to fall, according to CNN meteorologist Sean Morris.
By late Saturday, 3.15 inches had drenched the city, bringing the one-month total to 17.61 inches. “It … shatters the all-time monthly record of 14.66 inches set in June of 1989,” said Morris.
Seventeen inches in one month is a lot, but on Memorial Day weekend 1935 – Colorado and and Texas both received more than 22 inches of rain in less than four hours.
Woodward Ranch, Texas (about 17 miles northwest of D’Hanis, which is 40 miles west of San Antonio) measured an amazing 10.00″ in 1 hour, 15.00″ in 2 hours and a world record 22.00″ in 2 hours and 45 minutes on May 31, 1935 between 3:00-6:00 a.m. This was an especially interesting event since, just hours earlier, a rain gauge in eastern Colorado (at a location 25 miles northeast of Colorado Springs) measured 24″ of rain in a 6-hour period between noon-6:00 p.m. May 30th (22.80″ of which fell in just 4 hours).
That 1935 storm was far more intense than any this month, and CO2 was much lower in 1935.
Blaming thunderstorms on fossil fuels is the work of morons or climate alarmists – but I repeat myself.
Thanks, Steven, for confronting pseudo-scientific propaganda artists. Did CNN actually report that deceptive headline/
damn facts!
“fossil-fueled storm” – I´m impressed by the creativity. Brad Johnson must be satisfied with himself. I am depressed by the low ethical standard exposed by using such a speculative and deceiving expression.
Here’s a link to that Brad Johnson tweet:

Did you know Steve that you can embed the tweet in the post either by pasting the tweet address under the “visual” tab; or by pasting the embed code under the “html” tab of the wordpress.com post editor?
I noticed that every comment was either in disagreement or down right derisive.
OT, Solar roof-top reality

Might be the work of Satan.
Can’t NOAA go back and “adjust” that rain gauge data? It must not be correct since the temps from that era were obviously incorrect and needed an “adjustment” downward.
They actually do adjust precipitation data. The last change can be viewed here.

Excellent article in WUWT on why alarmists won’t change their beliefs. Brad Johnson is an excellent example of the mind set of an alarmist who is following his Bellwether.

It is a big weather country and a big world. Since warm season rains tend to be spotty and quite localized, there is frequently going to be some place (or several places) somewhere getting a record storm. That concept should not be difficult to grasp, but agenda driven climate “scientists” don’t give a hoot about giving a fair and balanced presentation.
Another way of looking at it is, assuming there are 10,000 pin pricks on a US map, in an average year there is going to be 100 pin pricks getting a one in a hundred year rain and 10 getting a one in a 1,000 year rain. Then, of course, there is great natural climate variability, so some years are going to have even far more records broken. So breaking a record or even several records does not prove or even indicate “climate change”.
Global warming causes droughts and floods? A theory that causes everything is false.
Katherine’s prayers are answered.

AGW is the fourth in a series of MAJOR LIES invented after nations (UN) and national academies of science (NAS) were united on 24 Oct 1945 into an Orwellian Ministry of Consensus Science Truths to forbid public knowledge of Neutron Repulsion – the major source of energy in cores of heavy atom, some planets, ordinary stars, galaxies and the universe:
1. SSM- standard solar model
2. SNM- standard nuclear model
3. BBC- Big Bang cosmology model
4. AGW- anthropologic global warming
One suggestion for society’s escape from this “Seventy-year Old Matrix of Deceit“ is a series of short papers for the teachers of future generations:

Amazing how the 97% consensus changes its views in just 2 years:
Texas And Oklahoma, Hotbeds Of Climate Change Denialism, Wracked By Another Year Of Warming-Worsened Droughts
So did global warming cause the deluge of fossil-fueled storms or the wrackingly warming-worsened drought?
Both! CAGW causes all kinds of disruption, including, but not limited to, extreme cold, extreme heat waves, extreme hurricanes, rain, floods, hail, snow, vacuum, supernovae, frogs, mushrooms and warts.
CAGW meme combines with the natural human tendency to see latest developments as somehow exceptional and non-random, even in the case they follow the 100-year averages as expected.
Didn’t they say a 1000 year drought was coming 3 weeks ago lol

Indeed sir, good point.
But you need to understand; it was a close shave. The 1000-year megadrought was just about to happen, and we missed it only by this much. We need to act NOW! and stop using fossils, which cause the current megaflood drowning us all! Panic!
I’ll agree with the alarmist when he concedes wind farms cause tornadoes.
