Comments by "Old Scientist" (@OldScientist) on "India: Extreme flooding causing climate fears - BBC News" video.

  1. More propaganda from Auntie Beeb. Notice the use of the phrase "climate fears". That's the giveaway. The reality of course is there is no evidence we are in a global climate crisis. As regards flooding, the U.N. IPCC admits having “low confidence” in even the “sign” of any changes—in other words, it is just as likely that climate change is making floods less frequent and less severe. In a study on the climate impact on flooding for the USA and Europe, published in the Journal of Hydrology, Volume 552, September 2017, Pages 704-717, the study found: ‘The number of significant trends was about the number expected due to chance alone.’ ‘Changes in the frequency of major floods are dominated by multidecadal variability.’ ‘The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concluded (Hartmann et al., 2013) that globally there is no clear and widespread evidence of changes in flood magnitude or frequency in observed flood records.’ ‘The results of this study, for North America and Europe, provide a firmer foundation and support the conclusion of the IPCC that compelling evidence for increased flooding at a global scale is lacking.’ This video is fear-mongering without substance. There is no climate crisis, just synthetic climate fear.
