Koan, you are entirely correct about scientists being VERY careful before they make assertions. Over the years I have done quite a bit of work with both social and physical scientists, including several working in ocean sciences studying ocean temperatures, and they take great care in any of their words that might be published. I take the point about weather being a complex system, but the way science works is to work from observations to theorized generalities from which testable hypotheses are generated. Just because the causality is complex does not mean testable hypotheses cannot be generated. BTW, if you ever see someone write that a theory has been proved, they have failed to comprehend of the basic tenets of the scientific method. Value their words accordingly. By definition, a theory can never be proved, only supported or disproved. Even the testable hypotheses generated from a theory cannot be proved; they can only fail to be disproved. LC
