Well this is a kink in the narrative.

Tourists also showed up in droves to Death Valley National Park over the weekend, hoping to be present for a historic moment when the lowest, hottest, driest place on Earth was predicted to potentially surpass its hottest temperature ever of 134 degrees, last recorded in 1913, according to the National Park Service. However, the weather service’s Las Vegas office predicted a high of 127 on Sunday.

I disagree... it not only causes storms by the added amount of moisture it picks up but the increased pressure differentials cause greater intensity.

How does insulating the atmosphere, which tends to even out temperatures, lead to increased pressure differentials?

Is MSNBC a climate scientist? Have we figured out what w climate scientist is yet?

The insulation just increases the trapped heat. Due to unequal heating of parts of the earth, this causes pressure differentials.

Pyramidic platforms for wind turbines:

"X1 Wind turbine adopts a pyramid platform to go with its buoy system to allow the structure to move where the air blows, hence generating energy almost constantly. X1 Wind turbine’s platform has a system called the PivotBuoy where the foundation is connected to a single point and allows the platform to move with the wind."

Emotional trauma of climate change... this only affects 60% of the population, the other 40% don't believe that climate change is happening.

"When cellphone alerts started blaring Thursday afternoon warning a tornado was coming, Jakeb Tucker and his grandmother ran for cover.

As they rushed downstairs, the 11-year-old said he heard a screeching noise and something banging in the wind.

"The house was kind of shaking, just like I was when I was down in that basement," he said.

When the wind died down and they headed upstairs they found the ground covered with tree branches, bits of siding and other debris. The trampoline that had been in the backyard was a crumpled mess near the neighbour's pool."

Well, that pretty fairly describes a tornado all right.

"Emotional trauma of climate change..." - When every disagreeable manifestation of the weather is tied to climate change and it is claimed it is only going to get worse, what do you expect. They are scaring the hell out of people for no good reason.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

Oh, there is good reason. When people act out of fears rationality is out the window.

Nobody cares what the cost or benefit of that 3 legged wind turbine is. It just needs to get built. Meanwhile, Vestas is swimming in profit not due to commercial value but due to government subsidies.

"... no good reason."

I stand corrected :)

More proof of geoengineering to support the experts.

Sorry eng... Dr. Michael Mann is a well known and respected scientist.

Michael Mann, he of hockey stick fame. He can probably take credit for inventing climate change, or at least of global warming.

This Michael Mann seems to specialize in dirt and rocks, not air. What qualifies him as a climate scientist other than discredited theories? His willingness to make shocking but untrue claims?

On a side note, my cousin studied geophysics at a prestigious university. She never did work in the field, only the oil companies wanted her. She wasn't so keen on being an oil prospector.

One of the main proxies for the hockey stick is the Briffa tree ring sequence. Funnily enough they are now indicating cooling, not warming.
