2. It's one of many predictions, including the prediction that we would have fewer. At this point, the whole global warming movement has observed every and any variation in weather patterns to be attributable to climate change. It's like a horoscope. Hence my aphorism that when you have already made your conclusion, everything appears to be evidence.
There is no science in global warming anymore. It's politics and activism, bordering on religion.

ABSTRACT
—
Thomas C. Peterson, Martin P. Hoerling, Peter A. Stott, and Stephanie C. Herring
Attribution of extreme events is a challenging science and one that is currently undergoing considerable evolution. In this paper are 19 analyses by 18 different research groups, often using quite different methodologies, of 12 extreme events that occurred in 2012. In addition to investigating the causes of these extreme events, the multiple analyses of four of the events, the high temperatures in the United States, the record low levels of Arctic sea ice, and the heavy rain in northern Europe and eastern Australia, provide an opportunity to compare and contrast the strengths and weaknesses of the various methodologies. The differences also provide insights into the structural uncertainty of event attribution, that is, the uncertainty that arises directly from the differences in analysis methodology. In these cases, there was considerable agreement between the different assessments of the same event. However, different events had very different causes. Approximately half the analyses found some evidence that anthropogenically caused climate change was a contributing factor to the extreme event examined, though the effects of natural fluctuations of weather and climate on the evolution of many of the extreme events played key roles as well.

He's memorable because he's one of the few deniers with actual scientific credentials.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

As global demand for energy increases, it's going to become more cost effective to be energy efficient. We've got an opportunity in the richest countries to become leaders in those technologies.
It's an opportunity to make a lot of money in the next 30 years I think.Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth

Yeah, 'cause the energy market is one that national governments totally stay out of, don't subsidise and allow the market to work on isn't it.

I get really perturbed when thousands upon thousands of climate change "experts" take jets to the world's vacation spots (Acapulco was a nice one) then proceed to lecture me on how I need to consume less.
