From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

By Paul Homewood

The fake news Guardian published this report in 2018:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/sep/13/climate-change-means-hurricane-florence-will-dump-50-more-rain?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email

It turns out it was all BS, as the authors of the study admitted a year later:

https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.aaw9253

Instead of 50% extra rainfall, when they rechecked their calculations their models only came up with 4.8% extra, while the size only increased by 9km, not 80km.

Roger Pielke Jr has the full story here.

But the whole episode shows that these weather attribution models are run for political impact, and contribute little to the science.
