The
onslaught of wild weather that has battered the USA in recent years -
from Hurricane Sandy and deadly tornado outbreaks to extremes of drought
and floods -- looks to be part of a "new normal" for weather patterns
in the U.S., new National Weather Service Director Louis Uccellini said Wednesday.
"We have observed more snowstorms and heavy rain events that have been extreme," he said, due to the fact that a warming atmosphere can "hold more water vapor that can increase the intensity of storms."
Yup, that kind of extreme weather has never happened before especially at ‘safe’ levels of CO2 concentration in the atmosphere below 350ppm. Year links are provided by C3Headlines.Com.
Is Uccellini paid to say stupid stuff on purpose? What a great job.
With some of those headlines you would think you were reading about today’s weather.
Notice
that a hurricane hit Florida in 1956. Today Florida is in the longest
landfall hurricane drought in the record - seven years and counting. And
New Orleans was flooded again by Flossy. Do they never learn? Gee don’t
you wish you were living back then when the weather was all fluffy
white clouds and gentle summer rains.
More? Why not? Let’s really get an idea how much nicer the people had it when CO2 was below 350ppm.
Wow!
Look at that. They were worried about climate change and a warming
world way back then. Well, golllly! Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!
Rather
than parroting the modern language and favored political stance on CAGW
Uccellini needs to learn a little weather history if he wants to be
chief of the National Weather Service. Guess that is not part of his
orientation. Should be. Might help him keep his foot out of his mouth.
