Incredibly though, it's the same Scientific American that just allowed a
blog post describing vast increases in Alpine glaciers during the Little
Ice Age, thereby undermining the magazine's own scream-in-panic policy
on climate change.

Why wouldn't Alpine glaciers increase during the little ice age?

Why are some increasing right now?


And why wouldn't unnatural levels of CO2 be causing unnatural weather
events?

Here we go, another 'magic' number.
What is the value of "unnatural" today from the Gospel Of Greenie
Gods?


I don't see a contraction in allowing both to be reported.

'Contraction'??? WTF?


Record-Setting Extreme Weatherhttp://www.scientificamerican.com/article.cfm?id=top-10-science-stori...

Start extract

Overflowing rivers swollen by persistent rains. Over a million acres
scorched by wildfires. Mighty blizzards blanketing the Northeast. One
hundred ninety-nine tornadoes in a single day. The weather outside was
not just frightful, but also costly. Although the number of extreme
weather events have been increasing all over the world in the past few
years, in 2011 the U.S. set a record in weather-related damage with 12
catastrophes that cost at least $1 billion each. The damage from the
May 22 tornado that devastated Joplin, Mo., alone could top $3
billion.

Extreme weather events have hit other nations hard as well, including
Pakistan, the Philippines and Australia, which have all seen heavy
flooding. All the events have convinced many experts that with climate
change, the weather will, unfortunately, only get worse.—Rose Eveleth
