This freak weather isn't anything unusual. It's just that we've had it good for 100 years or so. Just look back a bit further and you'll notice what we're getting now is not unusual. It's just media hyping the things which they plainly don't understand.

Yes it has happened before and the weather/climate are cyclical. What is new is the sheer volume of greenhouse gasses that are being released by humanity. Never before in history has a species had this ability. We are altering the climate -
that is a scientific fact and accepted by anyone that understands the process. The argument is how we are affecting it and by how much.
The issue is academic since, as I pointed out, no-one gives a fuck about the environment.
