“I’ve been obsessed with the weather ever since I was an infant,” he said.
And the data was suggesting something was not right.
He said temperature and precipitation extremes, “topsy-turvy” weather patterns, tornadoes, hurricanes and other extreme weather events point toward changes in the climate....
He gave an example of the recent snow storm in Arkansas that left a blanket of snow 8 inches deep.
...He said even for those who are not sold on the idea of global warming, they need to at least acknowledge that something is amiss.“When it comes to the climate, what if something ain’t right with it?” Ostro said. “Shouldn’t we at least take the potential seriously and get our arms around what to do about it?”

Stu Ostro: Allegedly "something ain't right" with the climate; for unexplained reasons, he blames trace amounts of CO2

A snowstorm shows something is amiss...
These shills are going to keep pushing and pushing that man is guilty of something; maybe it's not global warming, but cutting CO2 is still the answer -- cuz that's like a Mayan sacrifice, something that really hurts, so maybe it'll do some good.
Try instead a raindance like ritual... it's easier, and would do just as much good.
I'm 50, living in Southwest Missouri and I can't remember a time when everyone wasn't saying that the weather changed every day here. "Hate the weather today? Stick around, it'll be completely different tomorrow." They said it in Arkansas and Oklahoma, too, only no one blamed it on Global Warming or CO2. My point is, the weather does what it does and always has, but now certain people have latched onto any excuse to blame it on mankind. We've gone back to the dark ages and superstition runs amok once more.
A year or two ago, the warmists were screaming that weather was NOT climate. Now, they've contrived a way to exploit the weather as climate - the same weather that's been happening for hundreds, thousands, millions of years - to extort money from us or push their ideologies - the same ideologies they've always had regardless of the weather.
I remember serious tornadoes, floods, severe snows, ice storms, and 100 degree summers here in the 60s and 70s. None of what I see now is remotely different from that. These snake oil rainmakers have come to town claiming that they can change the weather if we just do as they say. We can thank our lucky stars for Climategate and a record of the climatologists own words that they really don't buy into the CAGW hype either.
