Since weather events have always existed, all the warming alarmists need to do is to blame every weather event on global warming, or, to stay on the safe side, "climate change." From John Tierney in the NYT:

In his acceptance speech, Mr. Gore didn’t dwell on the complexities of the hurricane debate. Nor, in his roundup of the 2007 weather, did he mention how calm the hurricane season had been. Instead, he alluded somewhat mysteriously to “stronger storms in the Atlantic and Pacific,” and focused on other kinds of disasters, like “massive droughts” and “massive flooding.”

“In the last few months,” Mr. Gore said, “it has been harder and harder to misinterpret the signs that our world is spinning out of kilter.” But he was being too modest. Thanks to availability entrepreneurs like him, misinterpreting the weather is getting easier and easier.

Tierney is quite correct: it's boob bait for the gullible and ignorant, regardless of what the climate is doing. Climate isn't local weather. Read the whole thing.
