The New York Times (see the article here) put out a discussion on whether the current blizzards are caused by Global Warming/Climate Change. True, the storms have set records, that is have broken very old records that were set when there wasn’t climate change. Oh, dear, was climate change in existence even way back when before we became so evil in our carbon emissions? What a thought, it will keep me up all night worrying about how long this climate warming has been going on and how we managed to hide all those carbon emitting autos and industries way back when.
One item in this story says that “warmer air carries more moisture.” You might want to tell the inhabitants of the Sahara Desert, The Arabian Peninsula, the Namibian Desert, the Kalahari Desert, the Gobi desert, the US Southwest, and the Nazca Plain that they should protect themselves against the moisture all that warm air contains. In my living experience, it is hotter in the Mojave and in Arizona and New Mexico than it is in Georgia and Florida, yet the humidity is higher in the Southeast. Maybe the scientist should be more circumspect in choosing the words for his statement.
