Soros-Funded Tools Blame Republicans For Tornadoes Killing 250 People…

Apparently they didn’t hear the bad news, the NOAA has said this has nothing to do with “climate change.”

(ThinkProgress) — Today, news agencies are still tallying reports of deaths from the most devastating storm system in the United States in decades:

Dozens of massive tornadoes tore a town-flattening streak across the South, killing at least 250 people in six states and forcing rescuers to carry some survivors out on makeshift stretchers of splintered debris. Two of Alabama’s major cities were among the places devastated by the deadliest twister outbreak in nearly 40 years.

“Given that global warming is unequivocal,” climate scientist Kevin Trenberth cautioned the American Meteorological Society in January of this year, “the null hypothesis should be that all weather events are affected by global warming rather than the inane statements along the lines of ‘of course we cannot attribute any particular weather event to global warming.’”

The congressional delegations of these states — Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia, and Kentucky — overwhelmingly voted to reject the science that polluting the climate is dangerous. They are deliberately ignoring the warnings from scientists.

    What’s more troubling is that the Left is twisting the narrative to say that climate change skeptics don’t think pollution is a bad thing, as if their narrative, “we can pollute at will!”. Of course pollution is bad for local ecosystems, and the US has done more than any country to limit that pollution and those effects.

    The Left isn’t satisfied with that. They want to eliminate private industry through crippling “green” taxes, put all remaining industry under government control, and let us settle into the identity of a lower-tier nation.

Bypassing the tornado damage would have been a political no-no. Don’t you know he’s going to enjoy the last shuttle launch? Finally those damn launches that Americans are so proud of are ending.

    The statement “yesterdays tornadoes were not related to global climate change” is wrong. The statement “scientists do not know whether yesterdays tornadoes were related to climate change” is correct.

    “We don’t know” does NOT mean there is no relationship between X and Y.

    Just wanted to lay a little critical thinking on y’all.

    From discover.com:

    Climate change may be partly to blame for this April’s record-setting torrent of deadly tornadoes, but La Niña is a more likely cause.

    Weren’t these idiots paying attention to the National Weather Service?
    They explained last night that if people would take the time to study weather for many years, they would realize that there are weather patterns. The earth warms, then it cools, this has been going on for thousands of years.
    They said that it is going through a cooling now, and this is the reason for all of the bad weather, the natural cooling as we leave a La Nena also. It has nothing to do with anything man made….only God made!!

    lovely comments on that TP site.

    i especially liked the ones insinuating that getting help from FEMA would be considered “dependency”

    >Time for them to line up at the FEMA trailer for the handout they are entitled to.
    >
    But why would they want help from FEMA? They are just a bunch of public sector leeches living off the dole of the taxpayer

    >You have a problem with facts and the truth?
    Think about it. These are ALL Red States which suck at the teat of Government largesse and pay much less for it than those in Blue States. And they will. especially now given the scale of this disaster.
    I’m not saying that we deny the aid, they need it very badly and they are our own. But these are the same folks who claim the Feds are the problem and at the first sign of trouble go screaming to the same people they villefy for help and aid. Nice Dichotomy

    So if “all weather events are affected by global warming” as the article maintains, then conversely, if there were no global warming, there would be no weather events?

    Do they understand that we have been in a long term warming trend since the end of the last ice age? I suppose, if we were currently in an ice age, they would see the end of that as an “ecological disaster?”

    even the GREEN Huff Po said this is bogus

    >The tornadoes that tore through the southeast United States on Wednesday were cumulatively the deadliest twister disaster in nearly 40 years. This latest catastrophe is setting 2011 on track to become a record-breaking tornado season.

    “In my career I have never seen this many tornadoes or this many fatalities,” said Joshua Wurman, the lead tornado researcher and president of the Center for Severe Weather Research. He is more widely known for his role as the scientist on the Discovery Channel’s “Storm Chasers” show.

    April has already shattered the benchmark for the number of tornadoes in a single month by a long shot. Meteorologists estimate that close to 600 tornadoes have formed thus far in April. That’s nearly four times the average of 160, and twice the amount of the previous April record, 267 twisters in 1974.

    Wednesday’s tornadoes alone killed some 300 people, mostly in Alabama, according the latest estimates.

    This April’s historic devastation has many wondering: What’s with all the tornadoes? The question is far from reactionary. Data shows a steady, overall increase in tornadoes over the last 50 years. But as for this April, the jury’s still out on whether climate change or regular old bad weather is to blame.

    “Climate change? No,” said Howard Bluestein, professor of meteorology at University of Oklahoma. “This is something that happens every 10 or 20 years when everything comes together like this. This is just natural variability.”

    Most meteorologists agree with Bluestein.

    “Any particular years you can’t attribute to changes in global climate,” said Wurman. “If we started seeing this every year, we’d say that this is a climate change. But we’re not seeing that.” Rather than a climactic shift, he said, “this is really just bad luck.”

    And the article also says: But as for this April, the jury’s still out on whether climate change or regular old bad weather is to blame.

    So the article is saying…they don’t know. 2 dudes are quoted as saying there’s no link between climate change and bigger storms, and one of them thinks other meteorologists agree with him. 2 opinions, but no evidence.

    Of course many meteorologists are not climate change scientists. Meteorologists forecast weather. Climatologists study climate change. Weather and climate are not the same.

    While it’s kind of Obama to visit those areas devastated by tornados, he has yet to respond to Texas gov. Perry’s request for an emergency declaration related to the wildfires there. Hundreds of thousands of acres and hundreds of homes have burned. On April 16, Gov. Perry made a written request but to date, he has not received any response whatsoever. But then again, Texas has bucked Obama on EPA regulations, Obamacare, and other issues. Hmmm…

  43. Random in Texas says:
    April 29, 2011 at 4:03 pm

    Perry will get nothing. Obama knows Texas is a lost cause; he will never carry this state. So why waste resources? Let ‘er burn!

    Climate change may be partly to blame for this April’s record-setting torrent of deadly tornadoes, but La Niña is a more likely cause.

    so the great Easter weeken outbreak of 1974 that spawned bigger wilder storms that killed more people must have been caused by the impending Ice Age that Paul Erhlich & Cass Sunstein were crowing about back then. Huh?

    But I’m certain they are in the pockets of big oil.

    Now, define “climate change” … because I was a kid in the 1970s and the climate related weather we have been experiencing the last couple years is very similar to that of the 1970s, when these same AGW/CC people were trying to push a second ice age/global cooling.

    Oops. I’m no meteorologist, but I understand that tornados are spawned by collisions of high pressure arctic air and low pressure tropical air. The American Mid West is the perfect arena for these events. If global warming were a problem, it would likely mean fewer and less ferocious tornados as a result.

    Maggie,
    You seem to say that zip was not making something up, but you didn’t say why. Could you find in that someone from NOAA saying what zipclaims they said?

    Who are the “same people” who used to promote cooling but now promote cooling? My reading is that there are several 1000 scientists who now agree about AGW, but I’m not aware that any of them were predicting cooling 35 or 40 years ago. Most of them hadn’t finished college back then.

    Anyway, the fact that some (not all) scientists were wrong 35 years ago doesn’t seem that relevant. The field has probably hugely changed, like by now using computer modeling.
