Winter 2011-12: Global Warming to Blame?

December 22nd, 2011

No matter what this winter holds in store, someone, somewhere, will blame it on global warming. Recall that the last two snowy and cold winters in the eastern U.S. were blamed, by some, on greater than normal snowfall amounts across Eurasia during the preceding fall season. And the snowy Eurasian autumns were blamed on the [...]

Atlantic Hurricanes: Fewer, Worse…Less Menacing?

November 16th, 2011

Judging by the number of posts to date in each of our “Categories” (listed in the right-hand sidebar), it seems that, as far as individual categories go, we’ve treated you to more articles on “Hurricanes” than on anything else besides “Climate Politics”—and that’s saying a lot! And while we’ve spent a lot of time [...]

No Change in Storminess

October 17th, 2011

As we enter the winter season, we all realize that if a large snow storm forms anywhere on the planet, someone will immediately appear and claim we are witnessing the effect of global warming. However, winter storms (aka extratropical cyclones) are tough to sell to the public given the images of cold, snow, wind, [...]

Western Pacific Hurricanes Declining?

August 19th, 2011

As we move further into hurricane season, we remind you that hardly a week goes by without another article appearing in a major journal on the topic of climate change and hurricane activity.

SEX! SEX! SEX!*

July 8th, 2011

[* This title recycles an item from World Climate Report from November, 1995 (yes, we have been at this for a while). To wit: “In an article intended to raise public consciousness about the threat of global warming, environmental writer Bill McKibben mentioned reports that, in northern Russia, “venomous snakes had appeared for the [...]

Extreme Precipitation Update

July 1st, 2011

We definitely have seen some impressive and destructive storms across the United States this spring, and to no one’s surprise, the greenhouse crusade is claiming more evidence of global warming. A web search for “Extreme Precipitation and Global Warming” yields nearly 200,000 sites almost all proclaiming that heavy rain, hail, heavy snow, or even no [...]

No Long-term Trend in Atlantic Hurricane Numbers

May 27th, 2011

Long-debated has been whether or not there is a long-term trend in the number of Atlantic tropical storms and hurricanes. The answer to this seemingly straightforward question turns out to be complicated because there have been changes in the observing practices over time—including changes in the spatial coverage of observing systems as well as the [...]

No Trend in Global Hurricane Activity

October 14th, 2010

How much evidence will it take to quiet the claim that hurricanes are increasing in frequency due to global warming? Global Warming crusaders are particularly fond of promoting the idea that we are having a profound impact on hurricane activity—they seem to never let an event go unclaimed. At World Climate Report (WCR), we have [...]

Southern Hemisphere Hurricanes – Not Changing?

March 30th, 2010

Have you heard of all the hurricane activity going on right now in the Southern Hemisphere? We are moving into the hurricane season for the Southern Hemisphere, and if you haven’t heard much about it, the reason is that right now there is zero hurricane activity anywhere on the planet. Of course, there [...]
