What I Always Say

Via NRO's new feature, Planet Gore:

Weather vs. Climate [Jay Richards]

The Center for American Progress has just released a report explaining the difference between weather and climate. The gist of the report is that you can't detect large-scale global warming merely by observing local weather. You may find yourself stuck in a blizzard, for instance, but you can still be darned sure we're causing catastrophic global warming: "The chaotic nature of weather means that no conclusion about climate can ever be drawn from a single data point, hot or cold." OK, but then why don't the global warming Chicken Littles ever make this point when we're having a heat wave?
