Extreme Attribution Gets a National Academies Upgrade: But the Weakest Link Problem Remains

When a weather event is glibly assigned to ‘climate change’ that automatically triggers a sceptical response gene somewhere deep in my core.
The easy Guardian/BBC option of blaming climate change for everything saves them having to do the difficult bit of studying. When your organisation has advised man made climate change is settled science that eliminates the need for any query or questioning of the attribution.
When It is all man made, it makes reporting so much simpler and the spin out programs become prime time fillers too. Cue, David Attenborough.
Climate is certainly changing. The average global recorded temperature suggests the atmosphere at lower levels has warmed about one degree Celsius over the past 150 years, thankfully.
The challenge is for scientists to accurately describe what is the cause of the change? Is it in any way significant, is it potentially damaging for life? Is the change normal, within previously observed changes, or is it abnormal?
The ultimate question once an understanding has been achieved and accepted is, what action to take?
The UK is enjoying the second settled hot sunny summer in a row. This is abnormal, my boundary brook has dried up for only the second year in my lifetime. Is this the early stages of a climate catastrophe or is it simply variation within normal limits? The water companies are already in crisis. The energy industry particularly wind generators are in trouble due to high pressure lingering around the country. Solar have never had it so good but that is unlikely to persist beyond the next month.
Making sense of a chaotic system is so hard, maybe I should write to the BBC to let them know?
