Say, How Do “Scientists” Know If Every Weather Event Is Your Fault?

I love when they try and trot this stuff out to show They Are Important! and then leave themselves a lot of wiggle room

How do scientists know if climate change made a heat wave, extreme storm or wildfire worse?

When a devastating heat wave, hurricane, flood or wildfire strikes, people often want to know: How much did human-caused climate change influence this event, if at all?

For many years, scientists could answer that question only in general terms. They knew that human-caused climate change was increasing the frequency or intensity of some kinds of extreme weather, but determining its influence on a particular event was much more difficult.

Today, researchers can provide a scientifically grounded answer that assesses whether climate change made a heat wave hotter, increased rainfall from a hurricane, or made a drought more severe. But the answers are not always straightforward, and they are not equally certain for every type of extreme event.

Wiggle room.  But, can they prove it is mostly/solely the fault of Mankind? No, but, that doesn’t matter, because the news media and politicians won’t make them prove it. And thanks to their doomsaying we get things like this, which have become all the rage

Heat Waves Show Climate Change Is Here

A few weeks ago, my daughter and I went to Paris, France, to visit family and celebrate her high school graduation. As a marine scientist working on the front lines of climate and oceans, I was hoping for a break from the doom and gloom. Instead, I found myself inside the biggest climate story of the year.

We knew it would be hot, over 90 degrees Fahrenheit. When I checked the forecast before we left, I told my daughter to pack shorts and tank tops. But we were not prepared for what followed—a ten-day inferno.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, there are credible reports that fantastic wines were being grown in England. What about all those heat waves which last for almost a decade during the 30s? Were they from ‘climate change’?

Wildfire smoke means climate change is knocking. Will we answer? | Editorial

While wildfires from 1,000 miles away dropped a haze over Ohio, there’s one thing they’ve made clear: Climate change is knocking on our doors now.

We’ve spent far too long debating whether humans have contributed to a warming climate or not. What matters now is how we adapt and prepare ourselves.

Wildfires and the health risks they bring are not a one-off occurrence, nor will they be going away anytime soon.

No, they won’t go away, because wildfires have always happened. There’s not witchcraft involved. But, the big thing now for the media is to say “It’s here! DOOM!”
