Studies fault warming for much of 2013 wild weather

.....or it could be a coincidental natural cycle of events. No proof either direction.

One truly man-made phenomenon is the "heat island effect". Yes, that affects local/regional weather. Likewise, windfarms have also been shown to cause localized warming as they recirculate warmer air back to the ground at night rather than allowing the natural overnight cooling to occur. Unintended consequences caused by "green" energy, not to mention inadvertent deaths of birds.

For years, scientists said they could not attribute single weather events — like a drought, heat wave or storm — to man-made global warming. But with better computer models and new research, in some cases scientists can see how the odds of events increase — or not — because of climate change.

And these are the same models that missed the 17 to 26 year global warming pause?
