The liberal Center for American Progress published a blog yesterday blaming Republicans who are global warming doubters for the tornadoes that devastated the South this week.
“The congressional delegations of these (hard hit) states – Alabama, Tennessee, Mississippi, Georgia, Virginia, and Kentucky – overwhelmingly voted to reject the science that polluting the climate is dangerous,” wrote CAP’s Brad Johnson. “They are deliberately ignoring the warning from scientists.”
Johnson backs up his finger pointing by noting that climate scientist Kevin Trenberth warned the American Meteorological Society in January that “Given that global warming is unequivocal, the null hypothesis should be that all weather events are affected by global warming, rather than the inane statements along the lines of ‘of course we cannot attribute any particular weather event to global warming.’”
