by Peter Sinclair, Climate Crocks, July 3, 2012
Lack of water, “the great air conditioner,” is causing unusually high temperatures and extreme weather events in the United States, Kevin Trenberth with the National Center for Atmospheric Research tells Judy Woodruff. Dr. Trenberth knocks it out of the park here.
It’s striking that Judy Woodruff, the interviewer, maintains to the end an all-to-characteristic checked-out journalist view from nowhere – “Well, that ought to be something to keep you scientists busy.” Earth to Judy – Colorado is burning. Trenberth, to his credit does not let it slide.
