Stuff You’re Not Allowed To Know: Droughts

In honour of a scientific journal retracting an article not because it was wrong but because the alarmist gatekeepers don’t want you to read it, we are re-running our series telling you what the authors said concerning extreme weather trends.

This week we look at droughts. Drought imagery is reliably horrifying, so whenever the media need a scary visual to accompany a story about climate change they will find a picture of a dried-up lake bed, a failed wheat crop, or the parched bones of some unfortunate water buffalo. And after a while you could be forgiven for thinking droughts are new occurrences, and also that they are getting worse due to global warming, but you would be wrong on both counts.

Al Gore has a famous catch phrase about climate change being like a “nature hike through the Book of Revelations”. But even passing familiarity with the other 65 books of the Bible will remind you that people have lived with recurring droughts throughout history, including the famous seven lean years foretold by Joseph in Genesis chapter 41 based on his interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream. Had Pharaoh’s dreams looked far enough ahead he would have been pleased to see that global drought trends are downward, despite rumours to the contrary.

Experts distinguish between meteorological droughts, or the absence of rainfall, and hydrological droughts, or the drying up of waterways and lake beds. The two are of course connected, as are other types of drought, which are also measured and aggregated into categories of severity in this study. Taking all the categories together the data show droughts are less common now than in the past.

The above Figure shows data up to 2014. More recent analyses in academic journals and in the IPCC reports confirm the trends, leading the authors to conclude “In conclusion, we believe that there is no evidence that the areas affected by the different types of drought are increasing.”

The only thing drying up is the credibility of alarmists who claim otherwise.

    Anything and everything the government says is a lie or propaganda. Over here, in early October we had a few record 80+ degree days and since the 6th, we have had rain every other day, cool temps (one day in the 60’s), winds and clouds (one partially sunny day). I go outdoors to see the global warming and over the last 40 plus years, it just ain’t made an appearance that would be beyond normal. October fall is turning out to be cooler than average.
