In a lame attempt at defending their widely mocked post blaming Republicans for the recent deadly tornadoes, ThinkProgress quotes a supposed “scientist” who says what we’ve been saying all along (albeit in a mocking fashion), everything can be blamed on the mythical “global warming.”
Top Climate Scientist On The Monster Tornadoes: ‘It Is Irresponsible Not To Mention Climate Change’ — ThinkProgress
. . . Conservatives attack any discussion of climate policy within the context of the killer tornadoes as “grotesque,” saying that to do so is blaming the victims.
Climate scientist Michael Mann explains further that “climate change is present in every single meteorological event”:
The fact remains that there is 4 percent more water vapor — and associated additional moist energy — available both to power individual storms and to produce intense rainfall from them. Climate change is present in every single meteorological event, in that these events are occurring within a baseline atmospheric environment that has shifted in favor of more intense weather events.
So if it’s present in everything, than it can also be blamed for nothing? I think? My head hurts.
