class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><b style="font-weight:

the floods in Louisiana are providing a big one on a daily
basis...On 1 August, the White House Council on Environmental
Quality issued a non-binding suggestion, formally known as
“guidance”, to federal agencies to think about climate change when
making decisions under a law called the National Environmental
Policy Act (Nepa)....<b>"This kind of all-hands-on-deck resistance
to a non-binding suggestion that agencies acknowledge climate
change is a sign of the times, but it’s also a sign that
Republican leaders have made compromise on climate issues
impossible. In throwing away a once proud environmental legacy,
the party of Donald Trump – the party that makes oil drilling
the centerpiece of its environmental agenda and insists that
climate scientists are just ganging up on Exxon to enrich
themselves – is forfeiting its seat at the table when climate
policy is inevitably made down the line.</b>"...If a common
sense proposal for federal agencies to consider climate change in
their decisions on the environment is shot down, what hope is
there?...Willful ignorance serves no one in the real world. That’s
the world the guidance to federal agencies is about: the world
where our nation’s fishermen are finding their livelihoods upended
by climate change, where whole states like California are facing
historical levels of drought, where major wildfires are now
standard front-page news. That’s the world the American people
live in. It’s the world our government’s decisions should
reflect... <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext"

A couple of articles now...discuss the evidence that <b>climate
change has made events like this more frequent</b>. ... formal
attribution studies ...will be done soon,...First of all, no study
can tell us that climate change caused an event like this to
happen, full stop. <b>Every weather event has many causes.
Climate change is just one of them,</b> and usually not the most
immediate....While attribution studies fall on a spectrum, ....One
kind of study looks at the event as a whole and asks whether it is
more likely to occur now than it would have been in the absence of
human influence....The other kind of study ....term "pseudo global
warming" ...asks whether, once that situation occurs, there is
more or less rainfall, and by how much, in the warmer climate.<br>
These studies basically<b> start with the specific type of weather
system that actually happened, plunk it down into two different
climates, and ask how it differs.</b></font><br>
