easily falsifiable claims like “this was caused by climate change and we can expect more of this” If it was easily falsifiable we wouldn't be having this discussion. Not much on this board concerning astrology, for example. Instead we had hardly any hurricanes make landfall for over a decade. Since you're running at 300bps you have apparently missed some news. The fact of the matter is that by the time Al Gore put out his movie (disclosure: I never watched it) even skeptical scientists like myself were taking note. It's not that there was proof, but something happens with scientific measurements when you start sniffing the truth: As you look closer, with better technology and more detailed measurements, the results tend to go in one direction. Not always, and it's certainly not proof, but it's enough to make our spidey senses tingle. The danger in this game is that the system is chaotic (indeed, chaos theory was invented around weather prediction). So there is a point where even a small, incremental change will lead to wildly non-proportional changes. And we still have no idea where that point is. Hell, some politicians are trying to stop people from even talking about it.
