Pielke Jr: Don't forget that the IPCC just told us: "in some regions droughts have become less frequent, less intense, or shorter, for example, central North America"

Roger Pielke Jr.'s Blog: Evidence-Based Policy: Which Side are You On?

Just like in the case of abortion and mental health the link between human-caused climate change and the current drought is tenuous (to be polite). The IPCC, an international expert assessment body, recently released a report on extreme events that is squarely in my area of expertise, and which I have noted overall did an excellent job.

On drought the IPCC concluded:

... in some regions droughts have become less frequent, less intense, or shorter, for example, central North America ...

If this conclusion is solid, then these activists are asking the US government to lie to farmers and the public. Not good.
