WaPo’s Samenow: ‘There Is a Clear and Unambiguous Signal’ that Man Is Responsible for Storms Like Harvey

EXCERPT:

CUOMO: "Jason Samenow made the argument that climate change is going to be responsible for more storms. We're now seeing Harvey. So the difference between temperature change and climate change, this is another point of controversy, where yes, Samenow is right. The temperatures are higher in the gulf. Warm air and moisture is going to generate energy and storms. You're going to see worse storms. But it could just be a phase. It doesn't mean that it is the direct result of a permanent change in the climate cycle or because of anything that human beings have done. What's your response?" 
SAMENOW: "Well, I think if you look at all the evidence which is out there, if you look at all the studies in the scientific literature, there is a clear and unambiguous signal that there's an anthropogenic component to this warming and that is likely --" 
CUOMO: "Anthropogenic meaning that human --" 
SAMENOW: "Manmade. Human caused." 
CUOMO: "Human activated through behavior." 
SAMENOW: "Absolutely. And we're just going to see that human signal on the climate system continue to grow as long as we increase greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere. We're going to see continued warming and there's going to be more potential for these storms to blow up and become even more intense in future decades."
