Well, since you repeatedly provide links to a risible site, it's easy to predict the outcome.

Anyone capable of learning would have realized by now that wattsup has zero credibility, and that repeatedly quoting from it reduces their own (if further reduction were even possible).

Then what caused the end of the California drought?



Are you saying the the California drought ending is proof that AGW doesn't exist?

Yes that is exactly what I am saying. Whatever minuscule role man made CO2 may or may not play, is overwhelmed by natural forces.



Even though this thread has become an echo chamber I'm pointing out how that statement regarding the drought or the above discussion of famine are spoken in a way that ignores the big picture. It's as if the discussion is made knowing full well that an allegory doesn't' prove the case but nevermind all of that, it serves the purpose.

Causes of Calif. drought natural, not man-made: NOAA 9/30/14

Quote

Natural weather patterns, not man-made global warming, are causing the historic drought parching California, says a study out Monday from federal scientists.

"It's important to note that California's drought, while extreme, is not an uncommon occurrence for the state," said Richard Seager, the report's lead author and professor with Columbia University's Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory. The report was sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The report did not appear in a peer-reviewed journal but was reviewed by other NOAA scientists.

"In fact, multiyear droughts appear regularly in the state's climate record, and it's a safe bet that a similar event will happen again," he said.

Using a sophisticated combination of computer simulations and statistical techniques, scientists at Stanford University have shown that the extreme atmospheric conditions associated with California's lengthy drought are likely caused by today's global warming conditions.



And you wonder why we're skeptical.

Keep up the good work on tracking sources but I think you missed the point I was making that you can't pull absolute proof from an allegory and you also can't just throw your hands up and say it's too confusing. It's like those infomercials where the middle aged guy can't do a simple task like sit down with food.

OK...let me make it a bit more simple. Which of the two stories, both within 24 hours of each other is to be believed?

For the second time in just 12 months, scientists have recorded severe coral bleaching across huge tracts of the Great Barrier Reef after completing aerial surveys along its entire length. In 2016, bleaching was most severe in the northern third of the Reef, while one year on, the middle third has experienced the most intense coral bleaching.

“The combined impact of this back-to-back bleaching stretches for 1,500 km (900 miles), leaving only the southern third unscathed,” says Prof. Terry Hughes, Director of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, who undertook the aerial surveys in both 2016 and 2017.

The bleaching is caused by record-breaking temperatures driven by global warming. This year, 2017, we are seeing mass bleaching, even without the assistance of El Niño conditions.”

Neither at face value. You need to look at who wrote it and why they wrote it. What is the author's background and who pays them, is it a peer reviewed article, are they espousing theory?
Did you read the second article or just copy and paste the title and first paragraph (http://io9.gizmodo.com/californias-ongoing-drought-linked-to-climate-change-1640398500)? Yes the headline is a catchy "Climate Change Caused X" but the article states that the results of their study are that Global Warming causes MORE of the events that caused the drought, not that it caused THE drought.

Again, don't be the guy in the informercial. You can cut the onion without the Slap-Chopper(R), just sharpen the blade, cut the onion in half long-ways and the chop perpendicular to the rings.

"No-one knew that chopping an onion could be so complicated."



I actually bought one of those chopper things. Used it once and threw it away.

So it is a religion. There are 2 stories. God is real. God isn't real. And your response is neither is to be believed. Yet you believe in this theory of man made global warming. What day do you worship?

There's even prayers...
