Straws-in-the-wind stuff, based on an IPCC press release claiming a
century of burning hydrocarbons had resulted in “more frequent and
intense extreme weather events”.
To date, the IPCC has failed to

the simple scientific ground that it is impossible, with current data
sources, to remove the overwhelming role of natural variation. Our story
was prescient. It’s all change at the IPCC, with the appointment of
Attribution Queen Friederike Otto and a troop of fellow attributionists
to take charge of writing a new chapter on extreme weather for its
forthcoming seventh climate science assessment report.
With the foxes
now in charge of the chicken coop, political order can be restored, with
the IPCC science more closely aligned with current Net Zero political
requirements. Dr Otto, who runs the Green Blob-funded World Weather
Attribution (WWA) operation out of Imperial College, has been appointed
the co-leader of the extreme weather chapter. “It will be a lot of work,
but it also gives a lot of opportunity to shape the structure and focus
of the chapter”, she notes. WWA paymasters who include the Grantham,
