I am not a scientist . . . While there are many competing opinions about the potential for human-induced climate change, it is possible to find consensus on some important issues.

Individual events I don't see as necessarily related to the larger phenomena. We've always had them in summer months, and they don't necessarily tell us anything about climate change.
