Or is it our perception of Mother Nature than has gone haywire?
It
seem as though the weather gods have gone berserk in recent years, as
nearly every day the headlines report unusual droughts, floods,
prolonged cold and snow, heat waves, or unusual weather events happening
somewhere around the globe.
The comment was made by Jennifer Francis.
Do you think she might subscribe to CAGW theory? What planet is she on?
When haven’t there been reports of ‘unusual’ weather in the headlines?
Show me a year when the weather was nothing but fluffy white clouds and
gentle summer rains

As for weather history:
Those who cannot remember the past can be manipulated to think today’s weather is worse.
Humans invented writing to help us record and remember the past. Remember the 1970s cooling scare?
Newspapers are a wonderful source of old weather information.
Digitized newspaper archives
are an even more wonderful source of weather history that allow
everyone with a computer to do their own research on past weather. Below
are some compilations that remind us that low CO2 concentration in the
atmosphere didn’t stop Mother Nature from dropping a beating on homo
sapiens.
Remember this Jen? Or was that before your time?
Lest we forget.
With
modern tools such as Doppler Radar and Weather Satellites we can
receive advance warning of approaching storms and get ourselves, if not
our property, out of harm’s way.
Keeping records allows us to see that the weather is no worse now than it was in the past.
Take a chill pill, Jennifer. Nothing unusual is happening with the weather. We have seen it all before.
