What Extreme Weather Link?

Extreme Weather Will Be ‘New Climate Normal’ Without Immediate Action, Warns World Bank

Michigan State professor labels skeptics as “global warming cynics” due to not getting on board with the extreme weather link

The authors of the study cite the US heatwave and drought of summer 2012, Hurricane Sandy in 2012 and Typhoon Haiyan in 2013 as reasons why skeptic should be on board with the ‘CO2 causes extreme weather’ meme. Trends don’t matter to these guys?

State of Climate Change: ‘Few hurricanes, weak hurricanes; It’s a slow year for wildfires (again); Another slow year for tornadoes; Arctic sea ice rebounds; The ‘pause’ continues

What extreme weather link are these guys talking about? Where’s the link?

A storm does not a trend make.

By the way, where is all that heat from the summer of 2012 and the warm winter of 2012? Have these guys noticed that it didn’t hang around? CO2 forget to trap the heat? CO2 not working? Perhaps it doesn’t have its Green card yet.
