I agree with this guy.

 

 

At the risk of being shot down by the vocal, but unfortunately ill-informed climate change sceptics…YES, it is because of global warming! Do you think that the science of climate change predicts change that is restricted to uniform warming across the planet? That’s a convenient catch cry by the media, NOT the science. As anyone with a rudimentary knowledge of weather systems realises, disruptions to our normal patterns of weather will of course be manifested differently across the globe at any one time. We in Australia are suffering from above 40degC temperatures at the moment! What is happening to the world is that the old patterns are being disrupted and we will have an ongoing series of extreme temperatures, both high AND low. A cold snap in the Northern hemisphere does not dismiss a mountain of evidence showing that our planet is indeed warming overall. As for the comment below about “real science†and predictions of a cooling planet….please go and read the REAL science.

This is the trouble with public discussions on matters underpinned by science. I agree that it is absolutely critical that the public debates serious practical and ethical issues that confront us all but to have a sensible debate the science behind the issue needs to be understood. There have been so many column inches written by those who clearly have no idea!!
