Stanford Study Links Climate Change to CA Drought

Funny that this is a partisan issue when we ALL need the environment to be in good shape.

If you think conservatives care about the environment or the future, you haven't been paying attention to the debased values that constitute rightwing politics.

In any case, the issue is both broader and more narrow -- the anti-science conservatism champions as a way to impose their freakish ideology on the public.

Stanford scientists say drought linked to climate change

Yeah...Yeah...I know that this is just another study by a left wing university with a secret communist agenda to destroy capitalism through environmentalism...

The climate denialists are quickly becoming the flat earth society.

The Climate denialist are not the ones who depend on made up data to make their assertions.

Sorry, the Sky is falling crowd lost allot of credibility when the NOAA and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology got busted tweaking their data.
 
Based on the thread title I have to assume that Palo Alto has been left out of the global cooling we've had over the past 20 years.

Of course unless you live in one of the places affected. By the way Egypt wasn't/isn't lush because the climate changed but because most of the populated areas are the Nile river delta.

wrong, the populated areas are the delta because they are now lush, geology says that all of Egypt was once lush. of course if you are a Creationist,, you likely don't believe in Geology.

Try reading the article for a change. It links man-made climate change with the drought. I guess everything has to be spelled out for you.

only if you believe everything that is spelled out for you

how so??

When the Nile River was dammed(Aswan Dam) it deprived the delta region it's annual deposit of sediments carried by floodwater. The once nutrient rich soil suddenly became not-so nutrient rich.

I don't trust any scientists that gets paid, that's why I don't bother using an airplane to fly. Would you really trust the word of someone who has a financial interest in researching gravity?

That is true, but very recent, how about ten thousand years ago???

OH!!, You fly without an airplane? HMM!!! Is the pilot researching gravity? Very Strange.
 
California Drought – A Novel Statistical Analysis of Unrealistic Climate Models and of a Reanalysis That Should Not Be Equated with Reality

Guest post by Bob Tisdale UPDATE: See the update at the end of the post. In the post The Obvious Failures of Climate Science That Mainstream Media Ignores, I promised to discuss the paper behind the National Science Foundation press release Cause of California drought linked to climate change. That paper was Swain et al.…

. . . It’s tough to employ climate models so you can claim that manmade greenhouse gases caused the California drought, when the models used by Swain et al. can’t simulate the lack of warming of one of the key metrics associated with it.


In summary, Swain et al. performed “novel” statistical techniques on dubious climate models and on a reanalysis that should “not be equated with ‘observations’ or ‘reality’”. Swain et al. also failed to note or consider that the sea surface temperatures of the eastern extratropical Pacific cooled from 1989 to 2012 and that the North Pacific as a whole showed no warming for that same time period, while the climate models they employed showed the oceans warming drastically during those periods.

We just know when we're being lied to, thats all.

Its not something that can be taught so there's not much we can do for those on the left who are so easily manipulated.

I mean if you equated empty platitudes and bumper sticker slogans to Presidential qualifications back in 2008, then you're on your own.
