That's an interesting aside, want to know who the biggest believers in climate change are? It's the guys who's bottom lines are being felt by it right now in the insurance industry and the forestry industry.
When they quote Kevin Trenberth, you already know what the article's spin is going to be. Wow. Most of the article is anecdotal (which everyone knows is just "weather" - or at least it is if it isn't supporting AGW.) An insurance company will look for any reason to increase rates and what better way to label parts of the country as higher risk for extreme weather ("What? We can't help it - it's climate change!")

This is what Scientific American has been reduced to...sad.
