"Things are changing so fast I don't think scientists are able to keep up."

Ever look at chaos theory? It saw much of its early development to help with weather models. Usually a chaotic system will oscillate around what is called a "strange attractor". It may go higher, it may go lower, but it always returns to this point. You can try to perturb the system, not much happens, it tends to be stable. Try hard enough and the oscillations start getting wider, you get extremes of highs and lows. That gets worse until a new strange attractor develops, and the system then quickly settles into its new range.

Now think about the weather over the past couple of decades...
