I am looking forward to the day when the writers of this article, and James Hansen and Bill McKibben are charged with fraud for claiming that record cold weather is really global warming.
Just like American Tobacco that day will come.

Anyone who denies anthropogenic climate change should have to move to Tuvalu ;-)

“That’s a big deal, because if you shift where deserts are by just a few degrees, you’re talking about moving the southwestern desert into the grain-producing region of the country, or moving the Sahara into southern Europe,”

Leaves out minor things like soil quality though.

Missing half the equation. Places previously too cold for agriculture will now not be.

While correlation does not necessarily equal causation, it certainly does not disprove causation.

Actual proof of causation requires experimentation, which is often impossible. Does that really mean interpetations are invalid? If we have no absolute proof, is that really a reason for complete paralysis?

Not being able to prove causality beyond a shadow of a doubt, should we not perhaps exercise our best judgment?

So correlation DOES equal causation. Good to know.

Other than for the period 1980-1990 – a very short time frame indeed – do the authors have any evidence that such blocking patterns were less frequent in the period prior to the assumed human influence of CO2.

Because if they haven’t, they don’t have anything.

Attn: Climate Blame Believers;
Ice-breaking planned for Lake Erie, Maumee Bay DETROIT (AP)
— The U.S. Coast Guard in Detroit is warning that ice on western Lake Erie and the Maumee Bay Channel should be considered unsafe Monday during ice-breaking operations. A Coast Guard cutter will be in the area for most of Monday while escorting a tugboat and a barge down the Detroit River to Toledo, Ohio. Everyone is advised to stay clear of the area.
