maybe you just don't know what's really going on. weather is not the same as climate. weather is local over short periods of time. climate is longer term & has been changing since our planet existed.

@callmedubious I'm fully aware.

We haven't documented either climate or weather for long enough periods to absolutely know what happens over long periods of time (Several thousand years). Science does have some really good estimates of what's coming through.

The increase in severe weather is a symptom of climate change. Increased heat and cold - brews much stronger weather patterns.

Frankly the old sci fi film that used to be laughable "The Day After Tomorrow" looks more like predictive story telling as the winters grow worse and the summers more severe.

I can tell you from the time of my childhood we had one Tornado in this area - now we have multiple touch downs in a summer. That's a rapid change climatologically speaking.

We also just had the wettest Spring on record - ever.

These things are all predictive. And I refuse to discount them. Particularly when scientists are saying "There's trouble here and if we change what we're doing now - we might be able to change it". Why not change to safer forms of energy now? And don't get me started on industry. They knew what they should be doing decades ago.

Here's some facts from NASA: [climate.nasa.gov]
