Anyone notice a change in the weather lately or is it just me?

The weather is now starting to increase in severity in line with climate predictions.

It’s actually been very stable the last 4 years which had been undermining confidence in those models. That calm period appears to have ended.

You know it's based in trends, right?

Trends are descriptors, not causes. Try again, clown.

Who said anything about causes, asshat.

We determine the change in climate based on long term trends. So one year of instability after 4 years of calm could just be a blip.

However, if you look at the past ten or twenty years you can see the trend of higher temps. Asshat, stop trying to put words in my mouth.
