One passenger died and 30 others were injured aboard a Singapore Airlines flight that was hit by "severe turbulence," officials said Tuesday, but experts say such deaths are rare even as researchers warn climate change may be causing more extreme cases of turbulence.

The NTSB has been keeping records of incidents relating to aircraft for some time.
If any org is going to notice an increase in Turbulence related reportable incidents, its them.
can’t see any trend from this data.

According to NTSB ,

From 2009 through 2018, the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) found that turbulence-related accidents accounted for more than a third of all Part 121 accidents; most of these accidents resulted in one or more serious injuries but no aircraft damage.

For some reason I thought Chris Uhlmann was a Leftard when he was at Nine. But, he's come out as a journalist.

It is the gag order of the pseudo eco-scholar: “The Science is settled.” This is not science as we once understood it. In that discipline something could be proved false through observation and experiment. No, this is “The Science”: science as deity.

In the 20th century Karl Popper transformed the philosophy of science around the idea of falsifiability, saying: “It must be possible for an empirical scientific system to be refuted by experience.”

The first rule in Popper’s The Logic of Scientific Discovery is: “The game of science is, in principle, without end. He who decides one day that scientific statements do not call for any further test, and that they can be regarded as finally verified, retires from the game.”

So, you can spend a lifetime counting white swans, but find one black one and the thesis that all swans are white is destroyed. The black swan event happened when Europeans first encountered the impossible animal in Australia.

Prove one assumption wrong and a whole set of conclusions collapses. The Science is not real science. It is a set of beliefs, a faith. Those who demand we agree it’s settled are no different from a Catholic bishop declaring: “Roma locuta est; causa finita est” – Rome has spoken; the cause is finished.

The zealots who invoke The Science as a gag order have never read the research or wilfully ignore its infuriating uncertainty. This uncountably large group includes battalions of politicians, academics, activists, journalists and a few dozen billionaire energy-hobbyist carpetbaggers.

Take the deeply entrenched belief that global warming is causing more extreme weather. This is so ubiquitous as to be unquestioned. It is an article of faith and there is almost no weather event nowadays that does not come with a blizzard of declarations it is proof of climate change.

Among myriad examples, let’s pick Tropical Cyclone Jasper, which hit far north Queensland in December. It dumped a massive amount of rain and none of what follows denies the fact it caused great damage and suffering. In its wake the Red Cross released an Instagram video declaring “Disasters like Ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper in Far North Queensland are happening more often due to climate change”. Greenpeace called it a “frightening portent of what’s to come under climate change”. The Climate Council warned “climate change is making (tropical cyclones) more destructive”.

None of this is true.

Fascinating to see how people can torture statistics to whatever perceived advantage they can muster.

Regarding Chris Ulhmans climate deniers piece attempting to demonstrate that global heating is somehow not creating more extreme weather.
It fails at three critical points

1) The world is heating rapidly. That is shown in stone hot evidence of temperature records around the world. Those overall temperature increases are reflected in repeated extreme temperature events and extended very high temperature events. There the facts

2) Much of the energy of Hurricances/Cyclones comes from the heat in the seas they cross. Global warming has increased sea temperatures. Therefore hurricanes that cross these seas will inevitably have more intense and more extensive wind gusts. Just more fuel.

3) The amount of rainfall that comes with a hurricance is also related the moisture in the atmosphere. A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture . Ergo heavier rains, bigger floods.

This is meteorology 101. I don't know what Chris Ulman said after "None of this is true." If he can come up with some fairy dust which disproves basic physics there are are a sack of Nobel prizes awaiting.

That won't happen of course. But the various climate deniers will have another BS article to create doubt while climate heating challenges happen every day and every where.

We've broken down everything you need to know about hurricanes, how scientists are using global climate models to predict storm intensity, and how climate change is having an impact.

Intensity is an issue. How is that calculated? By the amount of financial damage or the severity of the winds? The only organisation seemingly to qualify this is the Copenhagen Consensus Group. But, the IPCC seem to admit it themselves in the detail while the politicians corrupt the summary findings.

More from Uhlmann:

If The Science of global warming has a bible then surely it must be the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report Climate Change 2021: The Physical Science Basis. It is the latest accumulation of all the best research and it runs to a mind-numbing 2391 pages.

On page 1586 it says: “(Tropical cyclone) landfall frequency over Australia shows a decreasing trend in Eastern Australia since the 1800s, as well as in other parts of Australia since 1982. A paleoclimate proxy reconstruction shows that recent levels of (tropical cyclone) interactions along parts of the Australian coastline are the lowest in the past 550-1500 years.”

Pause on that. Not only does observation show there are fewer cyclones since the industrial revolution began belching extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, there is evidence to suggest cyclone activity in Australia is at its lowest ebb since the days of the Tang dynasty and the decline of the Western Roman Empire.

The CSIRO echoes that finding in its State of the Climate Report 2022 and adds: “The trend in cyclone intensity in the Australian region is harder to quantify than cyclone frequency, due to uncertainties in estimating the intensity of individual cyclones and the relatively small number of intense cyclones.”

Sean as usual throws up some more dumb diversions from the usual suspects.

Did you actually search out the net Sean for thsoe articles on how Climate is disproportinaly affecting LBGQABCTHUY people. ?
I don't think so. Must have been studiously collated by whichever climate denying site you follow and packaged for distribution.

More from Uhlmann:

Exactly. We don't know.
We have only been able to accurately measure them quite recently using satellites so the dataset is too short.
Need at least another 10 years.

Sure there are theories but they have to be tested.

 

[basilio]

Does Australia has less cyclones than previously ? Seems so from the sources Sean quotes.

Why ? Hard to say.
But does that mean that a warmer climate and warmer oceans will not directly impact the intensity and rainfall from cyclones ? As was pointed out by NASA and other meteorological organisations that is not consistent with the mechanisms behind the formation of these storms.

I find the discussion simply a bad faith converstaion. Clearly some people can't or won't recognise the reality of a heating climate, the fact this is accelerating and the clear impacts this is having across the globe.

I've been out for a long lunch, but not as long as some, it would seem.

Had some fun googling the effects of global heating and found this interesting one. I haven't been to Puerto Rico, but I'm sure it has a rich port.

But, the frogs near the equator must be protesting madly against China's unmitigated production of CO2 and methane which is affecting their co-qui's.

How dumb is anyone believing this crap?

Co-qui!

Frogs in Puerto Rico are croaking at a higher pitch due to global heating, scientists have found.

The frogs appear to be decreasing in size at warmer temperatures, which causes their croaks to become high pitched. If the trends continue, the heat could become too much for the sensitive amphibians to survive successfully, researchers have said.

The call of the coquí frog is well known to most who have spent time in Puerto Rico. It is named for its two-note call “co-qui”, which rings out throughout the island every night.

It is the gag order of the pseudo eco-scholar: “The Science is settled.” This is not science as we once understood it. In that discipline something could be proved false through observation and experiment. No, this is “The Science”: science as deity.

In the 20th century Karl Popper transformed the philosophy of science around the idea of falsifiability, saying: “It must be possible for an empirical scientific system to be refuted by experience.”

The first rule in Popper’s The Logic of Scientific Discovery is: “The game of science is, in principle, without end. He who decides one day that scientific statements do not call for any further test, and that they can be regarded as finally verified, retires from the game.”

So, you can spend a lifetime counting white swans, but find one black one and the thesis that all swans are white is destroyed. The black swan event happened when Europeans first encountered the impossible animal in Australia.

Prove one assumption wrong and a whole set of conclusions collapses. The Science is not real science. It is a set of beliefs, a faith. Those who demand we agree it’s settled are no different from a Catholic bishop declaring: “Roma locuta est; causa finita est” – Rome has spoken; the cause is finished.

The zealots who invoke The Science as a gag order have never read the research or wilfully ignore its infuriating uncertainty. This uncountably large group includes battalions of politicians, academics, activists, journalists and a few dozen billionaire energy-hobbyist carpetbaggers.

Take the deeply entrenched belief that global warming is causing more extreme weather. This is so ubiquitous as to be unquestioned. It is an article of faith and there is almost no weather event nowadays that does not come with a blizzard of declarations it is proof of climate change.

Among myriad examples, let’s pick Tropical Cyclone Jasper, which hit far north Queensland in December. It dumped a massive amount of rain and none of what follows denies the fact it caused great damage and suffering. In its wake the Red Cross released an Instagram video declaring “Disasters like Ex-Tropical Cyclone Jasper in Far North Queensland are happening more often due to climate change”. Greenpeace called it a “frightening portent of what’s to come under climate change”. The Climate Council warned “climate change is making (tropical cyclones) more destructive”.

None of this is true.

This was always a loads of cherry picked rubbish. As usual another journalist picked through the selective editing process of Chris Uhlman using the IPCC report and pointed out what he didn't note.
The money shot is at the end of the article. The rest of it dismantles Chris Uhlmans distortions.

All the warming​

Uhlmann does at least concede the IPCC report shows the climate is changing and the world and Australia is getting warmer, “and that industrial activity has played a part in forcing some of it”.

Some of it? More like all of it.

According to a part of the IPCC’s summary report not mentioned by Uhlmann, between the pre-industrial period and 2010 to 2019, the planet warmed between 0.8C and 1.3C. Natural changes barely contribute.

Greenhouse gases caused between 1C and 2C of that warming. Aerosol pollution had a cooling influence, which is why it’s possible that greenhouse gas warming could be higher than the observed warming.

So it’s more likely “all of it” and then some. But that’s just what the bible says.

The things that you’re liable to read in the IPCC bible ain’t necessarily so, Chris Uhlmann says. It’s a bold claim | Temperature Check

The contributor to Sky News accuses climate change ‘zealots’ of not having read the research. But his own reading is less than comprehensive

Bas the article written by Chris Uhlman was so bad and discombobulated I didn't think it worth commenting on I reckon he was told to write some thing, anything as long as it was negative.

IMV Chris Uhlman is a fairly well respected as a journalist. Using the IPCC for a cherry picking hatchet job on impact of Global Heating doesn't seem to be something he would do. But then maybe I havn't seen enough of his recent work. And as you point out perhaps he has been directed to use his respect to push the distortions.

Global boiling is frying our gay brains.

So, it affects everyone except white men, apparently.
