Scientists connect global warming to extreme rain
 Extreme rainstorms and snowfalls have grown substantially stronger, two studies suggest, with scientists for the first time finding the telltale fingerprints of man-made global warming on downpours that often cause deadly flooding.They got to save their phony baloney jobs! One group of researchers looked at the strongest rain and snow events of each year from 1951 to 1999 in the Northern Hemisphere and found that the more recent storms were 7 percent wetter. That may not sound like much, but it adds up to be a substantial increase, said the report from a team of researchers from Canada and Scotland. The study didn't single out specific storms but examined worst-of-each-year events all over the Northern Hemisphere. While the study ended in 1999, the close of the decade when scientists say climate change kicked into a higher gear, the events examined were similar to more recent disasters: deluges that triggered last year's deadly floods in Pakistan and in Nashville, Tenn., and this winter's paralyzing blizzards in parts of the United States. Ok, stop there a sec... You only took the data from 1951-1999 and didn't single out events... yet events that happened since then were singularly examined... Now, it has been a while since I was a studying the scientific method... but THAT IS CALLED COOKING THE DATA AND CHERRY PICKING DATA TO FIT YOUR HYPOTHESIS!!!!, Ok, the rest of the story I have to summarize, but cherry picked data... short time frame of study... no dissenting part of the paper... and all funded by foundations that have a remarkable interest in MMGW means that these studies aren't worth the paper they are printed on. More bullshit to push the goddamn Maxist takeover of economies in the name of saving the fucking planet. These crooks need to be laughed out of the scientific world, sued for everything they got for the damage inflicted on the economy, then fired into the sun to reduce their "carbon footprint".
