Lakes, Reefs and Floods - Part 3 - Floods

Can we really control the weather, or is that just another tall tale spun by climate alarmists? Join me, Karl Michael, as I unravel the myths and misconceptions surrounding the alleged link between climate change and increased flooding. This episode of the Climate Change Hoax Podcast is packed with a critical examination of claims from mainstream institutions that global warming is boosting flood risks. We'll dive into the data from reports like the Climate Science Special Report and NOAA studies, but with a skeptical eye. Why do they insist floods are a climate change problem when natural phenomena like El Niño and La Niña have been stirring up storms for centuries? Hold on as we challenge these assertions and explore the real elements at play, from human land modifications to unpredictable ocean currents.

With insights from a 2017 study in the Journal of Hydrology, we underscore that changes in flood frequency are more about natural variability than carbon dioxide levels. Tune in to this enlightening episode.

The Climate Change Hoax. If you're suspicious that this climate change stuff may be exaggerated or just total BS, you've come to the right place. Welcome to the Climate Change Hoax Podcast With your host, carl Michael. Here you'll learn the truth about the deceivers who want you to believe we can actually control the weather. We cannot. The real goal is to control you. This is the Climate Change Hoax.

And greetings. Crisis deniers Buckle up for more lies from Climate Crisis, incorporated in this special three-part series Lakes, reefs and Floods. Is climate change causing more floods? Well, according to the Union of Concerned Scientists and the National Resource Defense Council, they claim disastrous floods are increasing. They say floods in inland areas are the most common type of natural disaster in the United States and one of the most harmful to people and property. Many people have lost their lives trapped in floods and billions were lost in property damages and ruined crops.

Global warming is shifting rainfall patterns, making heavy rain more frequent in many areas of the country. With human alteration of the land, like the engineering of rivers, the destruction of natural protective systems and increased construction on floodplains, many parts of the United States are at a greater risk of experiencing destructive and costly floods. However, as the UN's IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, noted in its special report on extremes, it is increasingly clear that climate change has detectably influenced several of the water-related variables that contribute to floods, such as rainfall and snowmelt. In other words, while our warming world may not induce floods directly, it exacerbates many of the factors that do. According to the Climate Science Special Report, more flooding in the United States is occurring in the Mississippi River Valley, midwest and Northeast. While US coastal flooding has doubled in a matter of decades, a warmer atmosphere holds and subsequently dumps more water. As the country has heated up an average of 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit since 1901, it has also become about 4% wetter, with the eastern half of the United States growing the soggiest. In the northeast, the most extreme storms generate approximately 27% more moisture than they did a century ago, basically because of global warming. When it rains, it pours more. Such was the finding of a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration examining the record-breaking rainfall that landed on Louisiana in 2016, causing devastating flooding. The study determined that these rains were at least 40% more likely and 10% more intense because of climate change. 40% more likely, 10% more intense it rained in Louisiana Must be climate change. How in hell did they make that correlation? Ask to see their data and they'll tell you to pound sand Folks.

Speaker 2: 3:50

Climate change is not causing flooding. It can't be, because the climate change crisis is a hoax. Occasional heavy precipitation events and floods have always occurred and always will. Even the so-called scientists over at the IPCC admit a low confidence in any climate change impacts on floods and acknowledges that climate change is as likely to have reduced flooding frequency and severity as it has been to make them more common. When alarmists point to a particular flooding event and claim climate change is to blame, the assertion defies objective data and even the IPCC. These guys are like farts in a frypan.

Speaker 2: 4:39

Also, as reported by our buddies over at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, our buddies over at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration documented decline in drought in recent decades would more than offset any asserted future harms of increased flooding, if they were to occur. Less frequent drought means more abundant crop production and more abundant water resources and, similar to what I said in the last episode, no-transcript most of which occurred since 1940. This is particularly the case considering the likely impact on flooding of ocean circulations such as El Nino, la Niña, the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, among others. To understand how these gigantic multidecadal events affect the frequency and severity of global flooding would require hundreds of years of detailed data. Without such data, no scientific comparisons and conclusions concerning the impact of the tiny increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would be statistically meaningful. Folks. A study published in 2017 in the Journal of Hydrology, volume 552, pages 704 through 717, said this about the climate impact on flooding. The number of sufficient trends was about the number of expected. Due to chance alone, changes in the frequency of major floods are dominated by multi-decadal variability. And the frequency of major floods are dominated by multi-decadal variability. Even the IPCC concluded earlier that globally, there is no clear and widespread evidence of changes in flood magnitude or frequency. The results of this study provides firm support that the IPCC's on-again, off-again claims of increased flooding is total BS.

Speaker 2: 7:09

At the beginning of this episode I mentioned Climate Crisis Incorporated, because it's a business. The climate change industry is set up to reward alarmism. The origins go back to the anti-capitalist over at the UN's environmental program. They hated the oil companies and seized on the climate change issue to advance their one world order. So the UN created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. So the UN created the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. This IPCC wasn't supposed to focus on any benefits of warming. Their mandate was to build the scientific case for humans as the cause of global warming.

Speaker 2: 7:57

And when the grants, donations and endowments started pouring in, groups and organizations from all over the world popped up like toast. Researchers, politicians and leftist wackos quickly figured out that the way to get funding was to make alarmist claims about man-made climate change. These organizations are the only real, clear and present danger. It's not the climate JB. A partial list includes Union no Concerned Scientists, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, national Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National Resource Defense Council, fridays for Future that's Greta Thunberg's little grift Climeworks, greenpeace, sunrise Movement, 350.org and the Climate Emergency Fund, which is a climate politics funding group that believe street protest is crucially important. Some grantees include Just Stop Oil, the group that made international headlines for throwing soup on a priceless Van Gogh painting. Extinction Rebellion, a bunch of activist wackos that use civil disobedience like blocking intersections, and the list goes on and on.

Speaker 2: 9:21

These organizations destroy property and disrupt lives. They claim they can predict the weather hundreds of years from now. Any honest meteorologist will admit we can't predict the weather three days from now. These organizations are led by a collection of phony scientists, politicians and just evil control freaks. They get funding from people with more money than sense. Their endgame is to cause political chaos, gain power and make money. They are a malignant cancer infesting our young with prophecies of doom and gloom, ultimately contributing nothing to society and never will. I encourage you to go to the websites of these organizations and read who they are, what they have done and what they plan on doing, any sane person will be appalled. Someday they will cause enough damage, pain and misery to warrant investigation into their activities. I, for one, am really looking forward to that day.
