“I think that’s one of the points, that there are scientists on both sides,” Murdock replied. “There are hundreds of thousands on both sides debating this. And yet, the sort of Al Gore side has said, ‘Oh well, this is settled, we don’t need to talk about this, let’s just start the regulations and do cap and trade and so on because this is settled.’ And clearly there are many scientists on the other side saying, ‘No, no, this isn’t settled, this needs to be discussed and debated.’”

“These three-sigma anomalies,” Hansen says, “we can now say are due to global warming.” But what about the extreme cold snaps climate-change deniers keep pointing to? Even with global warming, Hansen told Time.com in an email, there “is still a broad bell curve. In fact, it has become broader, which means there will still be times when a season is colder than average. When that happens [people] should not say, ‘What happened to global warming?’ It will still be there — they are just looking at natural variability.”

...“The climate dice are loaded now, just as we said back in the 1980s that they would be,” Hansen wrote to Time.com. “People should be able to recognize the change, especially the increasingly extreme events. Don’t be surprised if there are more examples this summer.”
