Climate change Denialism taken to a whole new level
My latest: Polar scientists warn that the White House and NSF are planning to terminate the Nathaniel Palmer, the only US research icebreaker capable of handling Antarctic extremes, this October.
So far the plan has seen minimal pushback from Congress.

Why would India tariffs be so high?? I thought the strategic goal was to encourage manufacturing to move from China to India.

For annual rainfall, whatever goes up will come down. Globally that's ruled by evaporation, which only increases 2% per degree warming. So as the atmosphere loses more water in heavy rain, days with no or light rain decrease to balance that, and annual totals hardly increase. 4/5

That means an air mass saturated with water will hold 7% more water per degree C of warming, so 7% more can rain out, all else remaining the same. Heavy rain gets that much stronger.
Why doesn't that apply to annual rainfall totals? Because those are ruled by different physics: evaporation. 3/5

What scientists have predicted since the 1980s is an increase in heavy rain at the expense of days with light or no precipitation. And that is indeed observed. See nature.com/articles/ncl... @retoknutti.bsky.social
That is because warmer air can hold more moisture (Clausius-Clapeyron law). 2/5

We see here a self-styled "honest broker" with decades of experience in downplaying climate change presenting an age-old climate denial trope: using *annual* rainfall data as argument against an increase in *extreme* rainfall.
Does he *really* not know better? Or assume his readers won't?
