New NASA study links current extreme summer events to climate change

Sailboats and a floating dock lie on the dry, cracked dirt in a harbor at Lake Hefner in Oklahoma City as drought continues to be a problem across the state. The relentless, weather-gone-crazy type of heat that has blistered the United States and other parts of the world in recent years is so rare and off-the-charts that it can't be anything but man-made global warming, a new statistical analysis from a top government scientist says.(AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki, File) The relentless, weather-gone-crazy type of heat that has blistered the United States and other parts of the world in recent years is so rare that it can't be anything but man-made global warming, says a new statistical analysis from a top government scientist.

The research by a man often called the "godfather of global warming" says that the likelihood of such temperatures occurring from the 1950s through the 1980s was rarer than 1 in 300. Now, the odds are closer to 1 in 10, according to the study by NASA scientist James Hansen. He says that statistically what's happening is not random or normal, but pure and simple climate change. "This is not some scientific theory. We are now experiencing scientific fact," Hansen told The Associated Press in an interview. Hansen is a scientist at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York and a professor at Columbia University. But he is also a strident activist who has called for government action to curb greenhouse gases for years. While his study was published online Saturday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science, it is unlikely to sway opinion among the remaining climate change skeptics. However, several climate scientists praised the new work. In a blunt departure from most climate research, Hansen's study — based on statistics, not the more typical climate modeling — blames these three heat waves purely on global warming: —Last year's devastating Texas-Oklahoma drought. —The 2010 heat waves in Russia and the Middle East, which led to thousands of deaths. —The 2003 European heat wave blamed for tens of thousands of deaths, especially among the elderly in France. The analysis was written before the current drought and record-breaking temperatures that have seared much of the United States this year. But Hansen believes this too is another prime example of global warming at its worst.

And a year with a double La Nina, and a low TSI turns out to be the ninth warmest on record. That should have been ninth on the other end of the scale. But those that have created a political issue out of AGW will continue to deny what is increasingly undenyable.

We have changed the weather and climate. And now we are seeing direct results of that. And we will all see the results at the grocery counter this winter. Those in third world nations will see the result in the hunger swollen bellies of their children.

Oh, walleyedretard, are you still trying to pump out the lies and smears that your puppet-masters in the fossil fuel industry pour into your feeble little pea-brain? You poor deluded retard. It is your little cult of reality denying retards that no credibility anymore. Not that it ever did with anyone possessing more than half a brain. Your cult is sliding down the poop chute of history along with the Flat Earth Society. Say 'bye-bye'.

You know why I hate people like Hanson, and you? Every time it gets a little warm you idiots start talking about how this proves that the Earth is getting warm. What are you going to be saying in 6 months when we are in the middle of the worst winter the Northern Hemisphere has experienced in recorded history? The same thing, which will lead anyone with half a brain to conclude you are crazy.

You assholes are destroying any rational hope we have of dealing with the problems we face.

Yes.
Number one - you've been brainwashed into feeling that way by the lies, propaganda, misinformation and smears that the fossil fuel industry has pumped into your brain.
Number two - Dr. Hansen and the other climate scientists are telling you some important, unfortunate and very inconvenient news that you desperately don't want to believe for various reasons that include inner psychological denial, social pressure from your peers, and what you see as the fearful economic and political consequences of that news that would violate your personal mythologies and prejudices.
Number three - you're kind of stupid and gullible and very ignorant about science.


The rest of your post was just ignorant babble and denier cult myths that have nothing to do with actual climate science.

The World Consensus about Anthropogenic Climate Change

Most of the scientist on the planet do not insist that this summer is the new norm, they know that the weather is much to complex to insist that the drought, which is the result of an unusual high pressure system, will last forever.

I suggest you stop being stupid and start being smart. The first step would to be go read what real scientists are saying, not what you read in newspapers about what they are saying.

No, you don't. You have the politically motivated propaganda of a small group of whores who have sold their soul to the likes of Exxon and Goldman Sachs for a few million dollars.
The "science" that you have exists in the addled brains of scientists who couldn't hack it in a "hard science" like geology and instead had to opt for geography or some such, and in the worthless computer models they pollute the internet with.

Models that are so bad that random guessing is better.

In other words you have nothing. We sceptics on the other hand have handed those "scientists their asses every time they make some new stupid predicition, and have shown multiple times they can't do simple math.
