“You can't make a thermometer tell you it's hotter than it is,” said Hayhoe, who with her husband, a linguist and West Texas pastor, has written a book on climate change addressed to evangelicals.

But “the risk of certain extreme events, such as the 2003 European heat wave, the 2010 Russian heat wave and fires, and the 2011 Texas heat wave and drought has ... doubled or more,” said Michael Wehner, a staff scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and co-author of the climate assessment report. “Some of the changes that have occurred are permanent on human time scales.”

MASSIVE COLD BLASTS ON WAY for Britain+Ireland, Europe and USA as Polar Strato-Warming develops on WeatherAction cue.
The SECOND Major Polar Sudden Stratospheric Warming (SSW) in January (Jan/Feb) 2013 is now rapidly developing on WeatherAction cue to the day. Stratospheric temps (at above 70mb pressure level) are now at just above record levels for this date. Standard weather models now look like WeatherAction long range forecasts for the very cold Northerly blasts consequent on the SSW in Europe (inc Brit+Ire) and USA - in the parts predicted by WeatherAction
