Distinguishing Natural Variability From Climate Change From Clueless Experts
Here is classic example from seven years ago of a top government climate expert boldly proclaiming climate change, when he had no idea what he was talking about.Global warming behind hurricanes, says US expertUS hurricanes have been on the decline since 1880, and are currently at historic lows. This expert used two active years (2004 and 2005) and a massive dose of confirmation bias to come to an unsupportable conclusion.

“The hurricanes we are seeing are indeed a direct result of climate change and it’s no longer something we’ll see in the future, it’s happening now,” said Greg Holland, a division director at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, today.
Many of the experts gathered in the coastal city of Monterey are federal employees working under a Bush administration that contends global warming is an unproven theory.
Holland, director of the Mesoscale and Microscale Meteorology Division of the federal research centre, said tropical storm anomalies in the 1940s and 1950s can be explained by natural variability.
But he said carbon dioxide started changing traceable patterns in the 1970s and by the early 1990s, the atmospheric results were affecting the storm numbers and intensities.
“What we’re seeing right now in global climate temperature is a signature of climate change,” said Holland, a native of Australia. “The large bulk of the scientific community say what we are seeing now is linked directly to greenhouse gases.”

As atmospheric CO2 has increased, US hurricane strikes have decreased.
