What global warming will look like in the future seems fairly well settled. Even if the exact number and intensity of this season's storms involve a lot of educated guesswork.

I know if I had to pick who would be operating on my mother I would not want some Joe Blow from Bodunk University but someone very well trained in what she was doing. And I would trust someone from a top meteorologist school rather than some hobbyist online about global warming. Or some "journalist" more interested in heat than light.
