Roger Pielke is particularly unimpressed with what he calls “weather attribution alchemy”. In his view, attribution science is a form of “tactical science”. Such science serves legal and political ends, and the work...

Far from Hurricane Milton being the storm of the century, as widely alleged in the media, it was no more than a middling Cat 3 storm, a run of the mill event as far as Florida is concerned...

... weather attribution from the outset was deliberately intended for political and media purposes. It was introduced because the IPCC was able to find any real evidence that weather was actually getting more extreme.

Roger Pielke Jr., a BDD critic and former environmental studies professor at the University of Colorado, raised several of these issues in his own correction request submitted to NOAA in January. In response to his request,...

What matters is what happens when mistakes are made.

There is no evidence that climate change is worsening the extreme weather events impacting the nation. It was irresponsible for CNBC to publish this article, as it has many inaccuracies and misleading claims. But that seems...

...according to the EPA, there is no evidence that climate change has made flooding worse in the USA.

Pielke Jr. suggests that this campaign is not just misguided but potentially catastrophic.

At the University of Colorado, Roger founded and directed both the Center for Science and Technology Policy Research and the Sports Governance Center.

the IPCC and the underlying peer reviewed research on which it assesses has concluded that drought has not increased and, logically, that increased drought cannot be attributed to human-caused climate change.

“Universities need to take great care – if the public lose faith in the system, public funding and generous donations from alumni can dry up very quickly.”

So IPCC recognizes that 8.5 scenarios have "low likelihood" but nonetheless choose to remain "neutral" with respect to scenario assumptions

I can think of no other area of research where the relaxing of rigor and standards has been encouraged by researchers in order to generate claims more friendly to headlines, political advocacy and even lawsuits ...
