From the article

Often climate scientists use the analogy of loaded dice to explain the effect people are having on the climate by pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere: Not every roll of a loaded die will come up six—but sixes will occur more often than if the die had not been tampered with.

Hansen and colleagues now say that such analogies are no longer adequate: The loading of the climate dice is now complete, and the effects are plain to see.

"Our analysis shows that it is no longer enough to say that global warming will increase the likelihood of extreme weather and to repeat the caveat that no individual weather event can be directly linked to climate change," Hansen wrote in a Washington Post op-ed article on August 3.

"To the contrary ... for the extreme hot weather of the recent past, there is virtually no explanation other than climate change."

The new findings come on the heels of a recent about-face by Richard Muller, co-founder of the Berkley Earth Surface Temperature project and a former global warming skeptic.

In a New York Times op-ed published in late July, Muller said "it appears that essentially all of this increase results from the human emission of greenhouse gases."

But the article also offers a counter-argument

Warming Study Makes "Dangerous" Conclusion?

Myles Allen, a climate scientist at the University of Oxford in the U.K., said the new study is "entirely reasonable and consistent with other papers that have come out over the last few years showing an increase in the risk of heat waves resulting from the overall global warming" trend.

But he took issue with Hansen and colleagues claiming that recent heat waves would not have occurred in the absence of global warming.

"It's very dangerous, in my view, to phrase your conclusion in this way ... To say in absolute terms that this weather event was very, very unlikely to occur if we hadn't caused global warming is very difficult to substantiate with the science," said Allen, who was not involved in the new study.

"There is obviously a link [between global warming and extreme weather events], but the link has to be made through changing probabilities."

The worst of them all D-:

Let us just for a moment regard what the enormous chemtrail project world wide is telling us? Someone, somewhere and very highly placed appears to be pushing some buttons in a panic mode to forestall something big taking place on the planet - it may be an attempt to cool the planet and/or control the weather. These arguments appear to be taking place in another sphere entirely and that sphere appears to have concluded that something dire is happening to the planet. We are arguing about deciding to take the bull by the horns, but the bull has already been taken by the horns and the ferocity with which governments deny what they are doing indicates that telling us why would cause panic.

Like all human constructs, it's perfectible.

But it's one of the few things we should feel damn proud about ;)
