Geee Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Investors Business Daily: Junk Science: A new NASA study says global warming could "increase the risk for extreme rainfall and drought." We've heard this sort of threat many times before and, no, there's nothing to see here. According to NASA: "Analysis of computer simulations from 14 climate models indicates wet regions of the world, will see increases in heavy precipitation because of warming resulting from projected increases in carbon dioxide levels. Arid land areas outside the tropics and many regions with moderate rainfall could become drier." How about that? Heavy rain in soggy regions and drought in the parched ones. Pardon us if we don't get too excited about this. If it happens, the world will deal with it. But there's a good chance this forecast will end up like many of the other global-warming predictions of doom. Who can forget that acclaimed 2007 film made by Al Gore, in which the former vice president and failed 2000 White House candidate said sea levels would rise by 20 feet "in the near future" due to man-made global warming? So, if we might employ today's vernacular, how's that working out for you, Al? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
