Freakish weather disasters — from the sudden October snowstorm in the Northeast U.S. to the record floods in Thailand — are striking more often. And global warming is likely to spawn more similar weather extremes at a huge cost, says a draft summary of an international climate report obtained by The Associated Press.
The final draft of the report from a panel of the world’s top climate scientists paints a wild future for a world already weary of weather catastrophes costing billions of dollars. The report says costs will rise and perhaps some locations will become “increasingly marginal as places to live.”
The report from the Nobel Prize-winning Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will be issued in a few weeks, after a meeting in Uganda. It says there is at least a 2-in-3 probability that climate extremes have already worsened because of man-made greenhouse gases.
This marks a change in climate science from focusing on subtle changes in daily average temperatures to concentrating on the harder-to-analyze freak events that grab headlines, cause economic damage and kill people. The most recent bizarre weather extreme, the pre-Halloween snowstorm, is typical of the damage climate scientists warn will occur — but it’s not typical of the events they tie to global warming.

I’ve also (since the debunking of AGW) have noticed the increase in ‘overpopulation’ news reports as of late. They shape-shift from one ‘cause’ to another.
gosh, up is down, and
down is up,
and who knows
when up will be down again?
I blame Man-Bear-Pig ...
It's now Climate Change.
I have seen people like Bill Maher and others catch themselves saying Global Warming and actually correct themselves on air. I guess they didn't read their talking points memos from Soros very carefully.
The IPCC is full of bovine excrement:

If the weather changes, it now apparently because of man made global warming (climate change).
Since Global Warming is now out as a result of the past decade of contradiction, any climate change is man made.
The way to solve this “climate change” problem is to take large amounts of money from wealthy neations (except China and Russia and Middle Eastern nations) and give it to poorer nations (after having the UN keep a little for themselves) that need it.
(Sarcasm/cynism)
Global Warming can also cause glaciers to grow and sea levels to drop.
I’m just asking, but wouldn’t the increased atmopheric water vapor resulting from global warming work to temper extreme weather changes?
What would they say the cause was 100 years ago then?
non-falsifiable = unscientific
Climate Hustle ping.
This planet was designed to be a huge buffered system, capable of absorbing and nullifying the effects of changes in inputs.
Further, the rules governing how such systems act and react were designed specifically to make this place liveable for us.

Because the previous scam was debunked. So now, being the clever souls they are, they’re focusing on something that’s nearly impossible to prove or disprove.
I still haven’t gotten an explanation on how Americans giving their money to the UN will fix anything.
Its technical term I believe is “Collective Insanity”..
