"Can't prove that extreme weather wouldn't have happened without the extra CO2, can you?"

Talk about adding new goal posts...

Of course it can't be proven. What can be proven is the frequency of extreme weather events is far higher than it was before. While weather is variable, it usually falls within certain constraints. As chaos theory shows. When it starts to regularly exceed those constraints, that generally signals a change. Now certainly there is more at work than CO2. But that is the only parameter that has been changing by a significant margin. Granted, you can take the position that "I choose to believe that isn't relevant despite the evidence it is", but that isn't particularly rational.
