i think you need to do some more reading on that. the number of storms, size, frequency, and severity has dramatically changed over the last decade. they are also now happening at times they never did.
nobody is arguing that the planet has not undergone swings in temperature before. it has. the issue is that the swing going on now is more abrupt and much easier to plot in correlation with specific events.
i remember when i was growing up, that there used to be a storm or two every year, and once in a while a hurricane hit land, but it was huge news when it did, and rarely resulted in any real damage. now, we see 3 or 4 a year, and with more and more of them being devastating. i remember the snows of kilimanjaro that are now gone forever. i remember the rarity of 100+ temps. now we have weeks of them, with people thinking that is "normal". i remember when it was rare than a ski resort had to use man-made snow, and you knew the few who did, and laughed at them for being "fake". now, they almost all do, and not just to get a jump or extend the season. they are doing it in december and january.
it is very easy to see how this is happening and why. it still stuns me how many people refuse to believe it has anything to do with us. i find that those people are also frequently still are stuck in the 50s in their way of thinking, and that we can continue to go on the way we have without consequence.
the caps are melting, and the ocean currents, which are what dictate weather patterns, are shifting. there is no denying that. the results are going to be more dramatic weather. just look at the size of the storms we are having, and how much area they cover. they are no longer the 50-100 mile wide storms that we used to have. now they are huge, and cover hundreds of miles.
perhaps it's because i have always been one of those to be close to nature, and as a result, more attentive and aware when it comes to changes. perhaps it's also because when it gets to 80 degrees, i get incredibly uncomfortable and even ill, so now i am more aware of the changes in temp. perhaps it's just because of who i know that i get to do a lot of reading of material that most people don't even get access to, because fox news won't show it, and the government doesn't want to release it to you.
the bottom line is that we brought this on ourselves, purely because we thought it was too expensive or inconvenient to make the needed changes in our way of life. we will suffer the consequences. we will see more major changes in our lifetime. it's no longer something that wasn't going to affect us, and was a long way off. we will see huge changes within the next 10 years.
here are a couple of disturbing graphs:
