New Study: There Is No Extreme Precipitation, Drought, Flood, Hurricane, Tornado….Climate Crisis

After a thorough examination of extreme weather indices across the globe, scientists (Alimonti et al., 2022) have concluded “none of these response indicators show a clear positive trend of extreme events.” Therefore. “the climate crisis that, according to many sources, we are experiencing today, is not evident yet.”

There is an “absence of generalized growth trends in extreme precipitation.”

“To date, global observations do not show any significant trends in both the number and the energy accumulated by hurricanes.”

There has been “no increase in the main indices regarding global drought” and “drought has not intensified and expanded during most recent global warming.”

The trends that do exist are decidedly positive. Global maize, rice, soybean, wheat yields have increased by ~3% per year since 1961 for two main reasons: “technological progress and CO2 fertilization”. The root of the modern global greening phenomenon is “the increase of atmospheric CO2”.
