FOIA obtained Met Office document shows them to be clueless about what affects our climate, and, in particular, what caused the unusual weather last year | Watts Up With That?


On Drought:

Neither the development nor the severity of the 2010/12 drought was exceptional compared with historical events, and its climatological drivers have several similarities with past droughts.There is therefore, as yet, no evidence that it was due to climate change and not part of the natural variability of the climate.

On Jet Stream Changes:

The jet stream, like our weather, is subject to natural variability – that is the random nature of our weather which means it is different from one week, month or year to the next. We expect it to move around and it has moved to the south of the UK in summertime many times before in the past. It has, however, been particularly persistent in holding that position this year – hence the prolonged unsettled weather.

This could be due to natural variability – a bad run of coincidence, if you will – but scientific research is ongoing research to investigate whether other factors at play.

On Madden-Julian Oscillation:

The reason for this sudden change is still being investigated. There is a suggestion that it could be linked to disturbed weather patterns over the Indian Ocean and tropical Pacific caused by a strong Madden-Julian oscillation (MJO) – a large scale tropical phenomenon – in March. Understanding the initiation of an MJO event is, however, largely unpredictable, and remains one of the great unsolved challenges of tropical meteorology. It is therefore very unlikely that the MJO and its impact upon our own weather could have been anticipated in forecasts produced in early and mid-March. However, by the end of March, once the MJO had been observed, short range forecasts were able to predict the wetter and more unsettled weather the UK experienced during April.

On Declining Arctic Ice:

If low levels of Arctic sea ice were found to be affecting the track of the jet stream, for example, this could be seen as linked to the warming of our climate – but this is currently an unknown.

The Met Office Hadley Centre, working with climate research centres around the world, is making strides in determining how the odds of extreme weather happening have been influenced by climate change. However, it is very difficult to do this type of analysis with such highly variable rainfall events, so it may take many years before we could confirm how the odds of this summer’s wet weather happening have been altered by greenhouse gases.

The whole report is reproduced at the link above. Finally climate science is admitting that they simply don't know why the climate is changing...may be due to the fact that after all this time there still isn't a single shred of evidence proving that CO2 has anything to do with the changing climate other than being a result.

This sort of thing coupled with numerous articles questioning the AGW hypothesis coming from traditionally warmists news sources and hansen jumping ship over at nasa may be the beginning of the end for the warmist cult.

We can only hope.

And the research calling the AGW hypothesis just keeps pouring in.

Blogs. Come on, idiot child. Post some real research from real scientists.

Maybe you should actually look at the link rather than simply make assumptions. Each of the links goes to the hockey schtick which then takes you to the actual peer reviewed research. I am afraid that it is you rocks...as always who is the idiot child. Its just your nature. Till you get past the deluded state your cult has brought you to, things wont change for you.

Guess I should have just posted the links to the research. Expecting you to actually go somewhere and learn something might have been expecting a bit much from you.
