I think a citation is required from you here. So one particular aspect hasn't turned out as expected, which will be due to one factor compensating for it locally that hadn't been taking account. Newsflash, this is a complex system so predicting exactly how the different factors interact is always going to be extremely difficult. As someone who works with complex models (AI) I see this in my work everyday. But we can easily show the overall trend. The global temperature is rising and this leads to more energy in the system and a lazier jet stream leading to more extreme weather events.
But you just want to pick on this one example whist ignoring the multitude of other things that are consistent with global warming. Like for example the more extreme weather that we are experiencing in the UK. The reason you are doing this is because you are better at convincing yourself of what you want to believe than you are at thinking critically.
Your wilful ignorance is even more shameful than if you just told us that you were a sociopath that didn't care about how your lifestyle affects anyone else.

Being a contrarian doesn't make you a critical thinker. It's just another way of being a sheep.
Indeed severe weather is increasing it dose not have to specifically be hurricanes or typhoons thou those are examples
I imagine his last lines of defense will either be "the science is too young " As if the age of a line of study decides it's accuracy . The tired "There might be factors we don't understand yet . Good go find them and present it in peer review. Or the tired " but the computer models are not infallible so there" then you demand impossible and unreasonable standards.

Much like the ACA...
No one is saying the Paris Accords are the best plan, only that they're better than no plan.

No he is binary as Mat pointed out either there is a perfect solution or none at all . Which is ironic because Trumps immigration plan is definitely not perfect but Beta loves it .

He's trolling, just like the Rik. But it does point up that the religious have this fetish with science, that it has to be immutably correct out of the gate, just like that Immutably Correct book of theirs (HOW many versions are there, now?), and just can't quite wrap their heads around the concept that "Science" never did say it was 100% correct. Science isn't a FACT, it's a METHOD.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Yes, and you still don't have a good response.

Not really. You say it but give no examples. I'm guessing they're not very good, or you'd be happy to actually list some of them and talk about them, rather than being terribly mysterious about it.
Examples of the current effects of climate change on our planet?

Boy, that was hard.

I also listed several. But of course Beta will insist that it not because of climate change something else must be doing it . And don't cite science that's all part of the evil liberal communist conspiracy .
