Real Climate Science

“I think I missed the part where they discussed the Arctic melting,” the environmentalist and author Bill McKibben recently quipped.

A tireless spokesman for a planet in rapid and, as he sees it, dangerous flux, McKibben had taken to his Twitter account in the aftermath of last week’s presidential debate and, like many other Americans, he found the whole affair wanting — though his reasons were singular. “Wasn’t there some kind of drought or something this summer?” he continued. “Maybe I’m misremembering.”

In the clipped and sardonic vernacular of the medium, he ended his Tweets “#oh-that.”

McKibben was, of course, referring to climate change. His exasperation echoes a wider movement that by now has grown not just weary, but vaguely astounded at the lack of high-level dialogue on a topic that, as they see it, fundamentally influences — and therefore ought to trump — all others, particularly at a time when the nation is preparing to elect a president.

The new normal in climate science is ad hoc science. Contrary to the climate models, Antarctic ice reaches a record high – so the team simply reaches into their bag of sciency sounding explanations related to any of the millions of degrees of freedom in the climate system.

If you have no ethics or competency, you can blame all phenomenon on humans – just as their witch-burning predecessors did.

5:34AM EST October 10. 2012 – The number of natural disasters per year has been rising dramatically on all continents since 1980, but the trend is steepest for North America where countries have been battered by hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, searing heat and drought, a new report says.

The study being released today by Munich Re, the world’s largest reinsurance firm, sees climate change driving the increase and predicts those influences will continue in years ahead, though a number of experts question that conclusion.
