Global Warming models predicted this.
Sure they did, I'm just positive of it!
Of course they did! After all, the models are (seriously) all over the place and apparently somewhat unstable - tending to spin off into predictions of ice-overs or melt-downs with slight changes in initial conditions. Since mother nature is generally a reasonably stable and self-correcting system (with the possible exception of a super nova) the models obviously have it wrong, and adding artificial constraints to them does nothing to address the underlying problems with the algorithms.
But that doesn't matter to the AGW believers. Every event is proof of AGW. Unseasonably warm, cool, wet, dry, you name it. Any and every weather pattern that rolls along proves their theory. Even no change - proves AGW is stagnating weather patterns. I have literally heard every single one of them from AGW types - the hot/cold/wet/dry/same... It is starting to look like a mental disorder.
