Good Grief: Climate Cult Tries To Link Italian Shipwreck To Climate Crisis (scam)

Their science is sure full of lots of “mights”

Global warming may be factor in deadly Italian shipwreck, climatologist says

Global warming may have contributed to the freak storm that sank a luxury British-flagged yacht off the coast of Sicily on Monday, Italian climatologist Luca Mercalli told Reuters.

One man died and six people were missing, including British tech entrepreneur Mike Lynch, after the “Bayesian”, a 56-metre-long (184-ft) sailboat, was suddenly hit by ferocious weather.

Mercalli, president of the Italian meteorological society, said the episode could have been a water spout, essentially a tornado over water, or else a downburst, a more frequent phenomenon that doesn’t involve the rotation of the air.

“We don’t know which it was because it all happened in the dark in the early hours of the morning, so we have no photographs,” he said.

In Italy water spouts can involve winds of up to 200 kilometres (124 miles) per hour, while downbursts can produce gusts of around 150 km per hour.

So they do not know what actually happened, and water spouts are not abnormal in Italy

“The sea surface temperature around Sicily was around 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit), which is almost 3 degrees more than normal. This creates an enormous source of energy that contributes to these storms,” Mercalli said.

“So we can’t say that this is all due to climate change, but we can say that it has an amplifying effect.”

Right, right. What about all sorts of other shipwrecks going back 5 millennium in the Mediterranean? Were they from Other People driving fossil fueled vehicles? Seriously, no matter what happens this cult wants a piece of it
