(10,745 posts)These individual severe weather events aren't really connected to climate change anyway, from what we know now, and even if they were, I doubt Inhofe would open his eyes anyway, even if any of the worst-case scenarios do end up happening tonight. He's just that far gone.
Right now, let's save the theorizing of what is possibly connected to AGW, and what isn't, for later and save our thoughts for those people who have been affected, or who may soon be affected, up there tonight.

(154,021 posts)It's not individual events...it is a trend. Stronger storms are predicted, not individual storms.
Just like increased droughts, check
Increased and more intense wild fires...yup
Strong hurricanes more often.
But go on

(10,745 posts)My problem is, though, is that some people on here seem to conflate individual events(like Hurricane Sandy, or today's tornado outbreak), and actual trends(yes, that would of course include what you've listed, and more variations in heat & cold extremes, too.) and/or confuse the two.

(154,021 posts)My brother in law was born and raised in Ok, in fact knows all the small towns in news reports last night. Like my mother in Mexco City, he can tell you how much this outbreak, and a few in the past are out of norm for what he remembers.
Mexico City's weather has become far more extreme. You used not to need a sweater 70 years ago, and the heat wave, there was one a year, lasted a week not two months.
Those are the trends we are talking of here.
Even San Diego over the two plus decades, the droughts have become deeper. (And this fire season is off to a wild start)
You are right that people conflate, but Katrina is an example of what we can expect more frequently in the future.
So instead of going my god ignorant fool, educate people.

(9,089 posts)An outdoor interview with Inhofe....
Interviewer, "So Senator Inhofe what do you think of climate change now?"
Inhofe, "Well"..... Than you hear this screaming tornado siren go off and you can see his lips moving but can't hear a thing he is saying.

(2,195 posts)Tornadoes are scary and bad and all that, but the fact that they are happening in places that they pretty much have always happened in doesn't really say anything about climate change.
Climate change is real. It is happening. But it's just lame to say that any time there's a catastrophic weather event it's due to climate change. There were hurricanes and tornadoes hundreds of years ago.
Ooooooo.....a tornado...CLIMATE CHANGE!!!. Please stop that.
