Warmist embraces being called an ‘alarmist’: ’I’m sick of having to hide it…I’m a climate change alarmist’ So says Eric Holthaus

Was Haiyan the Strongest Storm Ever? No

Are Typhoon Disasters Getting More Common? No

Climate Con Artists Exploit Typhoon Haiyan

New paper blames typhoon Haiyan on the global warming ‘hiatus’

“Current datasets indicate no significant observed trends in global tropical cyclone frequency over the past century … No robust trends in annual numbers of tropical storms, hurricanes and major hurricanes counts have been identified over the past 100 years in the North Atlantic basin” IPCC AR5 WGI Chapter 2

And those conclusions are reached in spite of the rapid rise in atmospheric CO2 over the past century. I don’t know how your mind works when presented with that data but mine concludes that CO2 has nothing to do with the production of hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones.

Eric, you are hysterical.

Gore claims ‘Extreme weather events which are now a hundred times more common than 30 years ago’ — ‘Extreme weather has made people wake up to climate change’ –        

Gore: Haiyan and Sandy-like storms are 'gamechanger' for public awareness of global warming - 'I think that these extreme weather events which are now a hundred times more common than 30 years ago are really waking people's awareness all over the world [on climate change], and I think that is a gamechanger.'

Reality Check:

Scientists reject Sandy/Climate Link

‘Least extreme U.S. weather year ever?’ 2013 shatters the record for fewest U.S. tornadoes

Scientists reject Typhoon Haiyan AGW Link

Extreme Weather Report 2012′: ‘Latest peer-reviewed studies, data & analyses undermine claims that current weather is ‘unprecedented’ or a ‘new normal’
