The extreme heatwaves and wildfires wreaking havoc around the globe are “the face of c*****e c****e,” one of the world’s leading climate scientists has declared, with the impacts of g****l w*****g now “playing out in real time.”

C*****e c****e has long been predicted to increase e*****e w*****r incidents, and scientists are now confident these predictions are coming true. Scientists say the g****l w*****g has contributed to the scorching temperatures that have baked the UK and northern Europe for weeks.

The hot spell was made more than twice as likely by c*****e c****e, a new analysis found, demonstrating an “unambiguous” link.

E*****e w*****r has struck across Europe, from the Arctic Circle to Greece, and across the world, from North America to Japan. “This is the face of c*****e c****e,” said Prof Michael Mann, at Penn State University, and one the world’s most eminent climate scientists. “We literally would not have seen these extremes in the absence of c*****e c****e.”

“The impacts of c*****e c****e are no longer subtle,” he told the Guardian. “We are seeing them play out in real time and what is happening this summer is a perfect example of that.”

The past year has been a busy one for hurricanes.

There were 17 named storms in 2017, 10 hurricanes and six major hurricanes (category 3 or higher) - an above average year in each respect.

The 10 hurricanes formed consecutively, without weaker tropical storms interrupting the sequence.

The only other time this has been recorded was in 1893.

Are these storms getting worse? And does c*****e c****e have anything to do with it?

A year of records
This Atlantic hurricane season has been particularly bad.

There was Harvey, which pummelled the United States in August.

It brought the largest amount of rain on record from any tropical system - 1,539mm.

It caused the sort of flooding you'd expect to see once every 500 years, causing $200bn of damage to Houston, Texas.

Ironically, this was the third such "one every 500 years" flood Houston had suffered in three years.

September brought Irma, which devastated Caribbean communities. It was the joint second strongest Atlantic hurricane ever, with sustained winds of 185mph.

Those winds were sustained for 37 hours - longer than any tropical system on record, anywhere in the world.

Next came Hurricane Maria - another category 5 hurricane, with sustained winds of 175mph - which destroyed Puerto Rico's power grid.

Finally, Hurricane Ophelia span past Portugal and Spain - the farthest east any major Atlantic hurricane has ever gone.

There have been 33 of the strongest category 5 hurricanes since 1924. Eleven of these have occurred in the past 14 years.

These Are Still Citing Storms At Their Maximum Strength
Over Empty Deep Blue-Water Ocean

And Citing 1-10 Minute Maximum Storm Winds
As Sustained Storm Winds At The Storm's Peak

No Cat 5's Have Made Landfall
Anywhere In N. America In Over 40yrs
How Did They Stop Themselves 20yrs Before AGW Hysteria

What Will You Propose Next ??
