... global warming actually tends to reduce temperature variability.

Okay, so ... does that mean that the extreme temperatures we've seen mean the globe isn't warming?
Expected answer: Of course not, we have Climate Change silly, *anything* out of the ordinary is "proof".

I remember when Global Warming implied more energy in the atmosphere and thus more storms, rain, drought, extreme heat *and* cold.
Not only do they try to have it both ways, they want to have it every which way.
Sorry pals, that's not science. Might as well blame it on magic.

They had "extreme weather" in Tornado Alley this year. First tornado on March 25, when normally they've dozens.

"After some of the quietest three months of a U.S. tornado season in 60 years..."

A typical March sees about 120 twisters.

So, I guess since it was "extremely calm", then it was "extreme weather" aka climate change aka global warming... LOL! :)
