Revkin: Still suggesting that CO2 causes more extreme floods and droughts

I’ve written a piece for Wednesday’s Op-Ed page offering a short look at extreme weather in a warming world and the two prongs of the climate challenge — the need to limit human vulnerability to the worst the climate system can throw at us and to curb emissions that are steadily raising the odds of unwelcome outcomes, particularly extreme heat and either too much, or too little, water.

It hasn’t helped to have politicians and campaigners latch on to every extreme weather event as a photo opportunity. Remember Senator James Inhofe’s igloo last winter and the image of Hurricane Katrina on the posters for “An Inconvenient Truth?”

In the end, there are two climate threats: one created by increasing human vulnerability to calamitous weather, the other by human actions, particularly emissions of warming gases, that relentlessly shift the odds toward making today’s weather extremes tomorrow’s norm.

With an American city swamped by one great hurricane and then by another one less than a month later, with federal forecasters ticking down the annual list of 21 names for tropical storms at a record clip, it is no surprise that debate has flared over the role of global warming.

After all, one of the clearest signals that human actions have pushed recent warming beyond natural cycles is a measured buildup of heat in the world's oceans, and oceanic heat is the fuel that powers hurricanes.
