Well said abgemacht

Never said it was man made, but I do agree with your last point, tho I think it's wishful thinking that we'd take care of our planet

No this isn't proof. The scientific evidence is much more substantial, this is just an example of sligthly more extreme weather patterns which were within predicted boundaries (there are predictions which said things would be worse, and predictions which said things would not be this bad, but it definitely isn't good science to say this is proof, it's no-where near as good as the evidence which has been gathered, and the fact that it agrees with some models doesn't prove them right either - they may still be wrong but they can probably use this evidence to fine tune their models and make better ones...)

wishful thinking? it's a massive movement, like feminism, or marxism, or democracy... movements like this have changed the world before.

"it's a massive movement, like feminism, or marxism, or democracy... movements like this have changed the world before. "
That, unfortunately, is wishful thinking. The scientific evidence gathered by the good old IPCC and used for their models shows nice and clearly that, even after the strongest possible green movement in which global carbon emissions are cut by 80% before the end of 2100 (and there's a snowball's chance in hell of us achieving this, judging by what we've managed so far), global temperatures will still rise by an average of 2 degrees. According to the scientific community, global warming is happening and there is sod all that the environmentalist movement can do about it.

Southern California had record low temperatures all throughout the summer last year. We've just set rainfall records for December last month. A few years ago, we had the second rainiest year in recorded history. If this is caused be Global Warming, I say bring it on - I like Seattle weather.

It's the long term patterns not a year here or there, Not even a decade's worth of atypical weather is prof. Pointing at short term events and saying that means any thing about the long term is foolish and people and groups who have done so often do more harm than good.
