Idiot. Hopefully he keeps his word and lets Darwin excise him from the Gene pool.
If one storm, no matter how large represents global warming, does the fact that I had a light snow this morning represent global cooling. Tropical cyclones are a part of the climate and have been for millions of years. There is nothing anyone can do about them. The only thing "concrete action" against AGGW would do is wreck industrial societies, push million into poverty and make it impossible to recover from things like natural disasters. So the Philippine delegates are welcome to starve themselves in Warsaw for a week. They probably could lose the weight anyway. The rest of us would like to move forward and be prosperous.
Leading German Meteorologist Slams Climatologists For Lapsing Into A “Feeding Frenzy” Over Single Storm
‘Haiyan was one of the most powerful typhoons ever observed’ – at first that sounds very suspenseful, but an important small piece of information gets left out, namely: ‘Since weather records started being kept’. And when it comes to tropical storms, regular weather records have been kept only for a few decades! When we speak of the strongest storm of ‘all time’, this ‘all-time’ is not even 100 years long.
The earth is really already more than 100 years old, and we don’t know at all what natural catastrophes occurred 500 or 1000 years ago - and we also don’t know which tropical storms took place.
For many ‘climate expert’ this recent event is a feeding frenzy that allows them to pound the drums of ‘evil climate change’. And here not a single one of these ladies and gentlemen are able to show that such storms never existed over the past hundreds of years, let alone that this storm is connected to a man-made climate change.
