Reality denier: Raving warmist Jeff Masters, ignoring the latest peer-reviewed science: "In the future, if you're not being cooked in a record drought, you're going to be washed away in a record flood"

Dr. Jeff Masters' WunderBlog : Lessons from 2012: Droughts, not Hurricanes, are the Greater Danger | Weather Underground
We should not assume that the 21st century global civilization is immune from collapse due to drought. If we continue on our current path of ever-increasing emissions of carbon dioxide, the hotter planet that we will create will surely spawn droughts far more intense than any seen in recorded history, severely testing the ability of our highly interconnected global economy to cope. The coming great drought disasters will occur at a time when climate change is simultaneously creating record rainfall and flooding in areas that happen to be in the way of storms. Global warming puts more heat energy into the atmosphere. That means more more water will evaporate from the oceans to create heavier rains and make storms stronger, and there will be more heat energy to increase the intensity of heat waves and droughts. It all depends upon if you happen to lie on the prevailing storm track or not which extreme you'll experience. In the future, if you're not being cooked in a record drought, you're going to be washed away in a record flood.
