...which, according to the state medical examiner has seen at least 51 deaths (including several children) due to an EF4 tornado that swept through the town.
We'll continue to keep an eye on the news, but I want everyone to be assured of one thing (paraphrasing a comment made in February by Neapolitan): "...Only a fool would make the claim that this terrible tornado was "caused" by global warming - and only a bigger fool would make the claim that anyone credible will say that. After all, there's a whole world of difference between saying climate change caused a specific weather event and saying climate change made that specific weather event worse. Denialists know that, which is why they desperately work themselves into a lather making lame strawman arguments in the hopes that the lesser-informed won't recognize the difference..." So let's see how many "informed" people will work themselves up into a lather, trying to make the case that this particular storm was DIRECTLY caused by man's use of evil fossil fuels, using this terrible tragedy to further their "cause", hoping that the lesser-informed won't know the difference. For now, comments are closed. I'll re-open them as the fools step forward.
...and again, a math teacher should have been used.
The main blog article (submitted by Angela Fritz) has the comment: "...The study published Thursday is the first to take so many papers and authors into account.

Of these, 4,014 papers were identified to state a position on climate change. Among those, 3,8...

Burt. His rating was based upon both snowfall amounts and winds. For Long Island and Connecticut...
"...CANBERRA, Australia -- Australia was bracing on Monday for days of "catastrophic" fire and heat-wave conditions, with fires already burning in five states.
Prime Minister Julia Gillard toured fire-ravaged Tasmanian townships and promised emergency aid for survivors, who told of a "fireball" that engulfed communities across the thinly populated state on Friday and Saturday. "The trees just exploded," local man Ashley Zanol told Australian ra...
Well, as an example, let's look at their rainfall forecasts they made during 2012. Remember, their forecasts are based on information from observations, several numerical models and expert judgement.
On 23rd March, they predicted “The forecast for average UK rainfall slightly favours drier than average conditions for April/May/June as a whole, and also slightly favours April being the driest of the 3 months.” RESULT – RAINFALL TOTALS WER...
