Ah, but he did say that.... But there’s really no evidence that we’re in the midst of an EXTREME weather era - whether man has influenced climate or not, said University of Colorado professor Roger PIELKE, with the Center for Science and Technology Research. “If you look over the long term, and buy long term (usually; Rat likes buy and hold, but I digress) I mean 100 years or more, there’s actually no up or down in United States hurricane landfalls,” he said. “Within that period, there are time periods where there are more or less.” “Over the long term, there is no evidence that disasters are getting worse because of climate change,” PIELKE said. = He has one, or maybe 2, unsupported metrics.. US landfalls (and disasters). There's a reason it's not called US regional warming. What was going in the rest of the world at the same time? What's going on in the Caribbean and the Atlantic over that time that didn't make landfall? Doesn't really matter, cuz it isn't US CaribAtlan Basin Warming, either.
