an op-ed by bill mckibben author and founder of 350org narrated and illustrated by stephen thomson of plomomediacom http:wwwwashingtonpostcomopinionsa-link-between-climate-change-and-joplin-tornadoes-never20110523afrvc49g_storyhtmltranscript of original article:quotcaution: it is vitally important not to make connections when you see pictures of rubble like this week039s shots from joplin mo you should not wonder: is this somehow related to the tornado outbreak three weeks ago in tuscaloosa ala or the enormous outbreak a couple of weeks before that which together comprised the most active april for tornadoes in us history no that doesn039t mean a thingit is far better to think of these as isolated unpredictable discrete events it is not advisable to try to connect them in your mind with say the fires burning across texas fires that have burned more of america at this point this year than any wildfires have in previous years texas and adjoining parts of oklahoma and new mexico are drier than they039ve ever been the drought is worse than that of the dust bowl but do not wonder if they039re somehow connectedif you did wonder you see you would also have to wonder about whether this year039s record snowfalls and rainfalls across the midwest resulting in record flooding along the mississippi could somehow be related and then you might find your thoughts wandering to oh global warming and to the fact that climatologists have been predicting for years that as we flood the atmosphere with carbon we will also start both drying and flooding the planet since warm air holds more water vapor than cold airit039s far smarter to repeat to yourself the comforting mantra that no single weather event can ever be directly tied to climate change there have been tornadoes before and floods that039s the important thing just be careful to make sure you don039t let yourself wonder why all these record-breaking events are happening in such proximity that is why there have been unprecedented megafloods in australia new zealand and pakistan in the past year why it039s just now that the arctic has melted for the first time in thousands of years no better to focus on the immediate casualties watch the videotape from the store cameras as the shelves are blown over look at the news anchorman standing in his waders in the rising river as the water approaches his chestbecause if you asked yourself what it meant that the amazon has just come through its second hundred-year drought in the past five years or that the pine forests across the western part of this continent have been obliterated by a beetle in the past decade well you might have to ask other questions such as: should president obama really just have opened a huge swath of wyoming to new coal mining should secretary of state hillary clinton sign a permit this summer allowing a huge new pipeline to carry oil from the tar sands of alberta you might also have to ask yourself: do we have a bigger problem than 4-a-gallon gasolinebetter to join with the us house of representatives which voted 240 to 184 this spring to defeat a resolution saying simply that quotclimate change is occurring is caused largely by human activities and poses significant risks for public health and welfarequot propose your own physics ignore physics altogether just don039t start asking yourself whether there might be some relation among last year039s failed grain harvest from the russian heat wave and queensland039s failed grain harvest from its record flood and france039s and germany039s current drought-related crop failures and the death of the winter wheat crop in texas and the inability of midwestern farmers to get corn planted in their sodden fields surely the record food prices are just freak outliers not signs of anything systemicit039s very important to stay calm if you got upset about any of this you might forget how important it is not to disrupt the record profits of our fossil fuel companies if worst ever did come to worst it039s reassuring to remember what the us chamber of commerce told the environmental protection agency in a recent filing: that there039s no need to worry because quotpopulations can acclimatize to warmer climates via a range of behavioral physiological and technological adaptationsquot i039m pretty sure that039s what residents are telling themselves in joplin todayquot
