A climate scientist corrected a liberal reporter on Twitter Tuesday for suggesting a warming climate is causing hurricanes to worsen. The journalist was not happy.
“So Ryan can feel free to attack me and mischaracterize what I’m saying all he wants,” New Republic writer Emily Atkin wrote on Twitter after atmospheric scientist Ryan Maue criticized her for what he considers spreading alarmist messages on climate change.
“The storm hasn’t even been named & already it’s being blamed on climate change?” Maue said in a tweet, referring to a tropical depression that is expected to form in the Gulf of Mexico. The state of Louisiana appears to be in its path. He was responding to a tweet from Atkin, who called the storm a sign of “things to come in our warming world.”
She added: “I have spent my entire career listening to hundreds of actual experts on climate change and hurricanes.” Atkin’s Twitter bio states that she “write[s] and edit[s] on rats, poop, corpses, crystals, food & health, but mostly the climate.”
Maue replied later in the day with a tweet reminding his followers to consult experts to understand the ebbs and flows of the weather. (RELATED: House Democrats Spread ‘Lies’ About Climate Change And Hurricanes, Scientist Says)
“Now that Louisiana coast is under threat from a developing hurricane (Barry) make sure to get your weather (and climate) news from reputable sources,” he wrote. “Public (gov’t) + private sector meteorologists work in parallel to keep you informed and safe.”
Maue is a frequent critic of media reports insinuating hurricanes are worsening because of climate change.
He excoriated Democratic claims in June that “due to climate change, ‘the number of hurricanes that reach Categories 4 and 5 in strength has roughly doubled’ since the 1970s” — a claim that doesn’t line up with scientific assessments from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other organizations.
NOAA says the rising trend in Category 4 and 5 hurricanes in the North Atlantic is based on data that’s “not reliable for trend calculations, until they have been further assessed for data homogeneity problems, such as those due to changing observing practices.”

Today’s oxymoron = climate expert.
As some wag once noted, an expert is an old drip under pressure.
” Atkin’s Twitter bio states that she “write[s] and edit[s] on rats, poop, corpses, crystals, food & health, but mostly the climate.”
“crystals” ????
crystal healing …maybe.

apparently she likes reporting pseudoscience new age junk. that with her climate change junk writing.
She can’t tell the difference between science, mysticism, and cargo cult science, which is normal for a journalism major. She probably thinks the “experts” used by liability lawyers are reliable.
“…Atkin’s Twitter bio states that she “write[s] and edit[s] on rats, poop…”
That would explain Mann’s interest in her twittering.
The CBC is always among the first off the gates to publish alarmist articles on climate change. The very serious looking Mark Harrison has even created the “In Our Backyard” series in order to keep the climate alarm front and center during this year long election campaign, a theme pushed by the Trudeau Liberals.
Yet, after two weeks, not a word in the CBC about this June 29, 2019 Cornell University paper!
I wonder why?
https://arxiv.org/abs/1907.00165
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1907.00165.pdf
And it is open access…
Why this western media silence? However it was mentioned here: https://sputniknews.com/environment/201907111076211867-study-sees-no-solid-evidence-for-man-made-climate-change/
Svensmark was / is right, so far again 😀
Also of note is how wrong the climate models are because of the systematic errors …
Clouds utterly destroy climate models …

Best laughs… hand held calculators match super-computer models… 12:28, climate model uncertainty (error bars)… 24:25
“Cloud error is 114 times larger than the variable they are trying to detect”

This paper is thin.
I should have been more discriminating before commenting.
My bad.
A warmer world will have a decreased equatorial/polar temperature gradient and thus decreased storminess. So she is 180 degrees wrong. Didn’t any of her hundreds of experts tell her that? Don’t bother to answer, cuz I know.

Other than the Queen of England, what is wrong with Corgis?
The problem with corgis it they tend to be rather dominant. I had a corgi I inherited from my mother, who was dominant over my Golden Retriever , who was twice his size.
Corgis are German Shepherds with 3″ legs… 🤣
Damn near.
Junkyard dog meanness in a toy dog body.

According to the political left, an expert is defined as anyone who says what I want to hear.
We get the same ‘worsening cyclones’ (that’s hurricanes to others) story in Australia. Particularly stories published explaining how worsening cyclones are contributing to the destruction of the Great Barrier Reef.
Yet, official BOM data shows both the number and severity of cyclones has probably declined in the last 50 years.

David, you have a charitable soul.
Keith, I conclude you are a dirty little f…er. Please post any racist comments by the lady in question. I’ve seen none.
It is evil, evil motivation that pushes one to mindlessly pile on with nothing other than ideological purity backing it up.
