BACKGROUND:
The trouble with
climate "scientists",
is that their theories
and computer models
are all that matter
to them, and the
mainstream media.
When measurements
and observations
contradict their
predictions,
the contrary data
are just ignored,
and often
gradually "adjusted"
over the years,
to better match
the models,
which can take
decades.
That's junk science,
unrelated to real science.
In real science,
wrong predictions
falsify theories
and models.
UK FLASH FLOOD
SCAREMONGERING
Earlier in August
there were
dramatic floods
across the north
of England
( Manchester,
the Peak District
and Yorkshire. )
The BBC just had to blame
"climate change",
as heavy rain caused
floods and landslides,
which closed roads
and railway lines.
Flash flooding in the UK
is generally caused by
intense rainstorms,
where more than 30mm
of rain falls in an hour.
Some climate models
predict these flash floods
will happen five times
more often by 2080.
They claim warmer air,
from global warming,
can hold more moisture.
And warmer sea surface
temperatures cause
more moisture to be
evaporated into
the atmosphere,
providing more "fuel"
for intense storms.
The Atlantic Ocean is a
huge source of moisture
for storms in the UK.
I can't refute claims for 2080
without at least 30 years
of observations for evidence.
I don't expect to be breathing
30 years from now !
I can say point out
that climate models
have been consistently
wrong -- that's why
I call them
"computer games".
The computer games
are the house of cards
foundation of climate
alarmism.
With our gradually
warming climate,
which can be traced
back to the late 1600s
in central England,
there should already
be evidence of more
UK rainfall.
But there is no evidence.
Below are examples of
rainfall measurements
showing NO rising trend
as the climate gradually
warms:
Below is an analysis
of days with over 30mm
of rain at Oxford,
which has the longest
rainfall data record
( KNMI data ).
There were some
heavy rainfall days
between 1920 and 1980.
Since then, no obvious trend:
