Alarmist movie preview the 'Years of Living Dangerously'

Here is a parallel trailer to a new movie. The similarities are quite astonishing with respect to what is conveyed in this “Year of Living Danerously” series, no?

Any body been keeping tabs on our USGS lately? ;-}

“Imagine that Fargo, North Dakota is like Phoenix… 100 degrees. These are conservative projections by the world’s leading scientists.”
Which leading scientists have projected Fargo’s climate to become like that of Phoenix? I think there’s been a little too much “imagination” going on with these people. Besides, “temperatures of 100° or higher occur nearly every year somewhere in North Dakota. These temperatures of 100° F or more last only for a day or two.” But that’s not the same as having a climate like Phoenix. Phoenix doesn’t get an average 4.5 feet of frost penetration like Fargo does. So when do they imagine this miracle is going to take place? When does this transformation of climate even begin? They might want to start by breaking the old record high for North Dakota, which hasn’t been equaled once during the whole time man-made CO2 has been on the rise:
“The highest temperature ever recorded in North Dakota was 121° F at Steele on July 6, 1936, and the lowest temperature measured was -60° F at Parshall on February 15, 1936.”

The film talks about Syrian farmers being displaced because a great drought, and therefore joining the rebellion. So I thought I would look at the Syrian rainfall data. The following charts are from 1900, in four blocks of data. Data from the World Bank.

Notice any major change in rainfall?

Methinks that someone here is using standard taqiyya when talking to unbelievers, and the Greens fell for it, hook line and sinker.

Here is another view of Syrian weather, from Damascus airport. Unfortunately, the precipitation column has some significant gaps in it, which is unfortunate
But what we can see is that the number of foggy days, thunderstorm days, and rainy days has stayed remarkably the same. So if there was less precipitation in the last five years, as they claim, then this was due to lighter rainfall rather than a general drying out of the climate.
In addition, any drought was obviously not due to global warming / climate change, as two of the wettest years were in 2003 and 2004. Except, of course, that climate change can cause sudden wet-drys and flood-droughts, plus some hot-colds and windy-calms. Fickle thing, this climate change business:

And perhaps it should be pointed out that populated Syria lies on the edge of the Syrian Desert. Go a few kilometers east to Palmyra, and you are in real desert lands, and just 100mm of rain a year. This is pic of Palmyra, 120 km east of Homms. Notice much growing here? (Apart from the oasis palms, which is why Palmyra was built here.)

A final act of desperation, trying to persuade people about a pending climate catastrophe. It makes “An Inconvenient Truth” look respectable… and we know that movie was a political movie and was littered with errors… the British High Court said so.
