For global warming devotees, this winter has shown all the symptoms of climate change. That isn’t hard since virtually anything the weather does – good, bad or utterly in-between – falls perfectly into their seemingly beloved doomsday template.

Don’t take my snarkiness wrong. I’m whole hog when it comes to stopping the sky savagery being inflicted on the atmosphere by our self-centered, industrialized world. I simply question the value of interpreting every piece of weather solely in terms of the suffering skies above.
