Climate change - a near retrospect

Here is a report from NOAA, actually a series of reports that use scientific discipline to attempt to determine if certain weather events of 2011 were caused/made worse by global climate change, in particular the observed overall warming of the climate.  Not surprisingly it is a mixed conclusion, although the troubling thing is that it does indicate strongly that at least a few events were caused/made worse by the overall climate change.

Warning...the faint of heart, science haters, English flunkees, Republicans or the American Idol crowd may want to avoid this one - I mean it actually has the word anthropogenic in the second paragraph after all!
