"The beauty of global warming theory, as espoused by Karoly, is that whether it’s dry or wet, global warming is to blame.
And the other odd thing is that neither the drought nor the floods allegedly made worse by global warming need to be worse than anything seen before to have Karoly hail them as corroboration of his ideology.
UPDATE
Associate Professor Stewart Franks of Newcastle University writes to the ABC to protest its repeated use of an alarmist who may say what it wants to hear, but is not actually an expert:
Dear Mr Uhlmann
I would like to protest the repeated interviews with Prof David Karoly with regard to the Queensland floods.Since 2003, I have published a number of papers in the top-ranked international peer-reviewed literature regarding the role of La Nina in dictating Eastern Australian floods.There has been no evidence of CO2 in affecting these entirely natural processes, irrespective of their devastating nature. Why is it then, that someone without any publication nor insight in this key area of concern for Australia is repeatedly called upon to offer his personal speculation on this topic?
This is not a new problem with Prof. Karoly. ..."
