"When we have a cold winter, then "weather isn't climate", but when we have heat wave, then "we can't rule out the possibility that this is related to global warming"."
Are you sure that is the scientists talking, and not just the "common folks"? I never had the impression that climate science is terribly interested in singular spots of measurements. The public of course reacts immediately. If there is a warm winter, they all become believers in climate change, if there is a cold winter, they become convinced it is all bunk.
Never mind that the climate change could indeed lead to some regions of the world to actually become colder.
Maybe the problem is that everybody thinks they are experts on the weather, too, after all, they can sense it with their own senses - not.
