    Props to MV for taking the time.
    You guys will never live that down will you? All because I didn't look closely at a graph, because next to the graph in large font was the the number I expected to see.

    I'm OK with it.

    You on the other hand are the one not likely to live it down.

    No, really, skepticism is good. And it's a good lesson to see the difference.

    Your initial assessment wasn't wrong because ron's tactics are an insult, too. Among the more insidious games ron plays is feigning ignorance about previously discussed topics.
    That alone is what makes me think this is a Bot.
    I have been in this State for 30 years and I am willing to admit that I am part of the problem.

    Diamond Joe is right but on the off chance anyone cares the the studies discussed earlier in this thread on 95th percentile extreme/heavy/etc., rainfall events are now part of the 2018 IPCC consensus:

    So contrary to ron's false accusations of cherry picking and ignoring the consensus, the IPCC's 2018 Report on Global Warming says "It is likely that there have been statistically significant increases in the number of heavy precipitation events (e.g., 95th percentile) in more regions than there have been statistically significant decreases, but there are strong regional and subregional variations in the trends" where per the earlier discussion heavy, extreme, and several other synonyms for outlier 95th percentile rainfall events were all discussed at length earlier in this thread.


    The study describing how climate change is exacerbating extreme heat events as well as droughts, all part of a long term pattern change in Australia is linked on page 107 in post #2652.


    And FWIW the two examples above were just two recent examples of ron's tactics. Anyone paying attention to this thread knows ron tries poison the well by among other things asking the same questions over and over without caring about the answers, without engaging in good faith.

    As an addendum to the previous page,

    Earlier in this thread it was discussed how a shifting mean, associated with something like warming global temperatures, leads to large changes at the extremes, increases the odds of extreme heat events. Just like much of the planet, Australia has warmed over the past decade culminating in 2019 as the hottest summer on record for New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia and the Northern Territory, which was 1.35 °C above its previous record. South Australia and Tasmania had their second-hottest summers on record, and Queensland its third-hottest.

    In the past decade Australian heatwave records were broken in 2009, 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2019 across a much larger area even though a some of smaller area of records still stand. Some might even call that a trend.

    So while it true a lot of hot/cold pre-1950 records still stand, particularly in U.S. Midwest, the ratio of hot to cold records in the modern era are falling by 2 or 3 to 1 every year, that is hot/heatwave records are being broken at two to three times the rate as cold records are being set.

    WronG johnson doesn't really conveniently forget his out dated talking points have been debunked multiple times. He instead doubles and triples down claiming he proved the consensus wrong.

    Link me to where heavy is a synonym of extreme. I've never seen a climate headline about heavy precipitation.

    I'm sure no one in this thread, including yourself, is going to read your 200 page pdf. It should be apparent to you that there are climate scientists that try to blame everything on global warming. There is no way I am going to accept that that regional drought is due to CO2 when there is no increase in drought in Australia or the world.

    Even if we accept that drought to be the result of CO2, what does it even matter if drought isn't increasing in Australia or the world?

    And FWIW the two examples above were just two recent examples of ron's tactics. Anyone paying attention to this thread knows ron tries poison the well by among other things asking the same questions over and over without caring about the answers, without engaging in good faith.
    Your constant accusations against me are made up, and should be obvious to see to anyone actually paying attention.

    You are using mean temperatures as a metric for extreme heat. That is not compatible.

    And it was discussed how your belief that that increasing means result in more extreme heat events is no guarantee, e.g. the US.

    In the past decade Australian heatwave records were broken in 2009, 2013, 2014, 2017, and 2019 across a much larger area even though a some of smaller area of records still stand. Some might even call that a trend.
    Source?

    So while it true a lot of hot/cold pre-1950 records still stand, particularly in U.S. Midwest, the ratio of hot to cold records in the modern era are falling by 2 or 3 to 1 every year, that is hot/heatwave records are being broken at two to three times the rate as cold records are being set.
    Source?

    I can already tell you this is not correct for places we have long term records.

    You've been claiming this forever despite having never been able to point out any of my debunked talking points after many requests.

    I've largely been doubling and tripling down on the consensus to prove my points.

    I doubt if anyone cares but the last time increasing extreme/heavy rainfall came up, like so many other discussions ron continued asking the same inane questions over and over, made all the same accusations, ignored the previous discussion, ignored the literature, and ignored that heavy and extreme were treated as synonyms for 95th percentile events, and on and on...

    At the end end of day, a person acting in good faith would accept the mathematical definition, or try to learn what that means, and move on:

    Okay I guess, but I'm still not seeing much evidence that shows increasing trends in extreme rainfall events.

    -- I found extreme rainfall event papers specific for each region mentioned above and I provided a link for the Northeast United States component sourced from the National Climate Assessment (U.S. Global Change Research Program).

    From over two months ago:
    What paper are you referring to that defines extreme rainfall as 95th percentile? The top graph from your link defines 'very heavy' as top 1%.

    What is the approximate post # for these posts so I can go back and look at the discussion?

    FWIW, and apart from ron since this is essentially the same discussion as last time and if he wants to rehash it he can look it up himself: even though there was an unbelievable number of record daily highs set in the U.S. in the 1930s the ratio between warm temperature and cold temperature has increasingly veered towards ever warmer temperatures. Without global warming the ratio between record highs and record lows should more or less even out. But that's not happening.

    Even though many of the 1930s dust bowl records still stand, the United States has seen roughly two record highs for every record low over the last few decades. Observed annual U.S. record high maximum compared to record low minimum daily temperatures shows that the ratio of about 2 to 1 through the 2000s are just the transient values of a ratio that has been increasing with mean annual temperature over the U.S. since the late1970s. Since 2010, and going back as far as 1895, an even geographic distribution of 60 cities show U.S. daily record highs outnumber lows 5 to 1.

    We have well established that nights have been less cool than in the past, resulting in higher mean temperatures, so this is not unexpected. This is not proof of more extreme heat in the US since very few state record highs have been set in the 21st century, and we know heat waves were much worse pre 1950.

    If by "we" ron means that like so many other discussions ron continued poisoning the well by asking the same questions over and over without caring about the answers, ignored the previous discussion, ignored the literature, and on and on for page after page... then yeah "we" have established "that nights have been less cool than in the past, resulting in higher mean temperatures":

Also, there were 9,673 low min records set YTD even despite this being the warmest decade on the instrumental record.
