More climate hoax promotion from PBS: CO2 blamed for tornadoes, snowstorms, droughts, floods

How 2011 Became a 'Mind-Boggling' Year of Extreme Weather | PBS NewsHour | Dec. 28, 2011 | PBS

JEFF MASTERS, Weather Underground: In one year, we had three of the most remarkable extreme weather events in history of the U.S.

I mean, we talk about the Dust Bowl summer of 1936. Well, this summer pretty much matched that for temperature, almost the hottest summer in U.S. history.

...JEFF MASTERS: Well, normally, you have the everyday ups and downs of the weather, but if you pack a little bit of extra punch in there, it's like a baseball hitter who's on steroids.

You expect to see a big home run total maybe from this slugger, but if you add a little bit of extra oomph to his swing by putting him on steroids, now we can have an unprecedented season, a 70 home run season. And that's the way I look at this year.

We had an unprecedented weather year that I don't think would have happened unless we had had an extra bit of energy in the atmosphere due to climate change and global warming.

...JEFF MASTERS: Drought is my number-one concern for climate change because drought affects food prices.
