Building blocks of incredulity


“A leading climate-change researcher expressed doubt that growing public fears over the link between extreme weather events and global warming have any basis in science. He voiced concern that the ramifications of global warming on the numbers and severity of hurricanes, tornadoes, heat waves, damaging winds, floods and droughts had been exaggerated beyond their proven bounds.

 There are "no convincing links" between trends in greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and trends in severe weather events, according to the scientist.” Adam Jensen,
