What unusual weather patterns? We've NEVER been able to predict the weather. Every year it is hotter, colder, wetter, dryer, etc. etc. blah blah blah, and every year, modern "experts" say it's all caused by human-caused climate change. I say it's all nonsense. Don't try to predict the unpredictable, and you will never be disappointed..or overly concerned.

I have my doubts, but it doesn't matter because the weather is changing and if our leaders had 1/2 a brain shared between them they would recognize that we need to invest heavily in science and our futures and prepare as best we can.

There is no such thing as "human-caused climate change." The whole notion is liberal propaganda designed to scare us into more government control, including higher taxes.

My entire life, I'm 50, has seen strange weather patterns! What the flip is NORMAL? It was an ice-age in the 70's. Then heat waves crept in to the point there was even a song! We had a mini ice age in the 1700's cooling from the above "normal" medieval time period of the 13-1400's. What the heck IS normal? I'll tell you what is normal, not knowing what IS normal. Geeze!

Why doesnt anyone else put 2 and 2 together to realize that EVIL is running rampant and that Satan has been turned loose on this earth. You better start considering this ..and get your acts together ...I know, I know..Im wasting my breath, and Im a conspiracy theorist ..and and and and all the above... ok... call me what you will.. we will see in the end.. who is correct...

It's weather, not a calendar. stuff happens every day; but the same thing doesn't always happen on the same day every year. We have historical patterns that's all.

Throughout 2012 the sun and moon were not behaving like they were supposed to. I live north of the tropic line, but the sun was rising even north of me-IN JULY. And furthermore, there was a total meda blackout on the subject.

the Earth goes through periods of cooling and warming. i believe it foolish to base theories off 100, maybe 125 years of recorded temperatures.

Climate Change? The political word for "we only know about the behavior of the planet in the past 100 years" or in other words, we only understand about .01% of the history of the planet. For all you low information voters - - Climate Change is nothing more than another way for the Liberals to confiscate our money and our freedoms.

Climate is what you expect, weather is what you get. The global climate is 1.4F or 0.8C warmer than it was a century ago. All weather occurs in the current day climate which is somewhat different than it used to be decades ago. So, yes to that extent, the weather patterns we experience today are part and parcel of a somewhat changed climate.

While there are unusual weather patterns. How can we possibley know they are human caused? It could be cyclical, astronomical, geological. Pffft! Human caused? Always so quick with the self loathing! We are not that significant! Don't be so quick to make Gore richer! Read and listen to varying scientists, not just hack science! You can start by simply taking some college level science classes before jumping on the gore band wagon with his paid hack scientists.

It's called the "Jet Stream" that controls the weather patterns. Depending on where it's at determines whether it's warmer than normal or colder than normal but some people insist on trying to profit from this effect! Now days, everytime we have a storm of any sort, it's now "Man Made" as if we never had these kind of weather storms before! I'm sure the "Tri-State Tornado" that killed 695 people back in 1925 today would be classified as a man made disaster due to global warmer because of the greenhouse gases being produced and no EPA to regulate them huh?

I had to choose "Yes" because my true answer wasn't listed. That answer is "Climate change is driving long-term changes, but short-term weather changes cannot be shown to be a direct result of it." And we are looking at anthropogenic drivers.

Climate change is happening but you can not predict it's effects in the short term. Over the long haul we will probably see more severe weather swings but just because it snows 2 feet one day or hits 105 in the shade doesn't mean that it was caused by climate change. When the average temperatures go up decade after decade then yes that is almost certainly from man made climate change. One winter or summer - no.
