I enjoyed your little moment of US exceptionalism, assuming that I am in one of the dumber states, as well as the opening call to authority. Your references, in order: 1. This would be light on detail for a Medium blog post. "Reported extreme weather events" depends wildly on measurement, reporting, and public communication criteria, none of which is quantified. As another commenter pointed out, "extreme weather" is also not the same thing as "unpredictable weather". 2. Is a largely an investigation of what would happen if global temperatures increased, along with some computer projections of future weather conditions. This is not proof of anything. 3. I'm not sure what to make of this, especially as the original video is not referenced. "Warning of climate change" is not the same as "climate change is happening". 4. This Mashable article, again, does not link the original documents that Shell wrote. I'm not sure of the status of science education where you live, but referencing pop-sci articles that reference companies that once wrote a report about climate change does not constitute serious research.
