Sheffield City Council Blame Climate Change for Tree Damage

From NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE KNOW THAT

Sheffield City Council are blaming climate change for a £5m tree maintenance bill, saying the increased regularity of storms has caused costs to balloon.

The Telegraph has the full story here.

Interestingly the Telegraph quotes two scientists who say observations do not back up Sheffield’s claim, but another, Hayley Fowler, who says her modelling showed that climate change is making storms like Eowyn “more frequent, with more intense wind speeds and much higher rainfall amounts”.

Maybe Hayley should start looking at real world data and ignore her fictitious models, because the Met Office maintain she is talking out of her backside!

Hayley Fowler appears to have spent her whole academic career modelling the climate. It is a sad state affair for climate science that modelling takes precedence over proper science and actual data.
