The weather's not getting worse.No, G-vig, you silly fraud, I call the combination of events that we are seeing the result of global warming. No one storm or receding glacier can be pointed out as the result of global warming. But when 95% of the glaciers are in accelerating recession, then that can definately be attributed to global warming. When we get an 500% increase in damaging storms over the last 40 years, that is definate proof that something has changed.
Analysis of trends and of aggregated time series on climatic (30-year) scale does
not indicate consistent trends worldwide. Despite common perception, in
general, the detected trends are more negative (less intense floods in most
recent years) than positive. Similarly, Svensson et al. (2005) and Di Baldassarre
et al. (2010) did not find systematical change neither in flood increasing or
decreasing numbers nor change in flood magnitudes in their analysis.
