Even the IPCC has said in their latest report that they can't attribute extreme events to climate change.
One item of note from the IPCC:
Quote:
Some of the interannual variability in rates of persons affected by disasters may be associated with El Niņo
|
and I'm sure many climatologists would attribute this event and weather pattern to El Nino, rather than climate change. Though the El Nino may be more extreme due to a warming climate.
