This is a charge that is brought up very regularly, but it is almost
entirely baseless. The culprits are over excitable journalists looking for
headlines. People in the business of discussing global warming responsibly
("climate change" is a phrase invented by a US politician trying to deny
global warming), mostly only say "In a warming world we can expect XXXX to
occur more frequently", not "This event is caused by global warming".

If we had 4 TC's in SEQ now in the space of 4 months - what's the betting
that the climate change band wagon would be jumping up and down saying
- "look it's global warming in action". Perhaps it already was?
