The closest USHCN station to Katherine Hayhoe is at Crosbyton, Texas. Two of their three heaviest rainfalls occurred during a six week period in 1913. Nine of their ten heaviest rainfalls occurred with CO2 below 350 ppm.
Katherine says she has looked at daily data in West Texas, and it shows increasing extreme rainfall. Katherine’s MO is to ignore data from before 1970.
Is it unprecedented droughts that cause extreme rainfall? Or is it extreme rainfall that causes unprecedented droughts? I’m confused.
Actually it appears her MO is to ignore any data from any period that detracts from her mission. She stopped being a scientist some time ago – and she’s just another advocacy politician.
What happened to permanent drought? Is it over already?
Gator,
I think it might be extreme thirst delirium causing unprecedented press releases.
people like Hayhoe leave you with only two choices….
….they are dumb as a bag of hammers
they are lying scum bags
take your choice
Can’t she be both? Hansen is.
How do you construct the graph from the link? I’m not saying you can’t do but I haven’t figured out where to select 100 rainiest days.
It is not clear if there has been increase or not. Is it possible to add a trend?

Can you find a trend in this lot?

That is the graph I ended up with. Where has the graph Mr Goddard presents above come from? I have asked but he isn’t answering.
Having said that there may be a significant trend in the data you link to, just like there could be in the graph above, but it will take some statistical analysis to check. That is why I keep asking for how he has got his graph.
Have you any ideas?
You can figure it out. I gave you a link to the page, and you need to poke around until you find the raw data. Then you will need to to find a way to sort the data. It takes me about three minutes to generate one of these graphs.
Doesn’t work for me. I have never admitted to being particularly bright and you have certainly stated I’m not. Any chance of a link to this ‘raw data’?
See if this works

Thanks, I’ve got the file into Excel.
I have reproduced your graph and added a trend line. There is an increasing trend with a coefficient of determination of just 0.022.
“There is an increasing trend with a coefficient of determination of just 0.022.”
In other words : “Climate change” without the change part.
Which is exactly the point Steve was trying to make.
The “Klueless Klutz Klan” wants to hang deniers.
It can also be thought of as the “Kooks Klutz Klan”.
