Sure. But look at the statistics. We keep setting records for number of warm days, number of cold days and incidents of extreme weather in a given time period. And the effect is global. Usually freaky weather is associated with a region, not the whole globe. And don't forget the melting at the poles and Greenland. The Arctic will be ice free in a few decades if things keep going like they are.

Clearly you don't know what a straw man argument is. Here is a hint, it isn't just something you don't agree with.You could have argued I made a false equivalence, but that would be hard to support. There was lots of scientific evidence in the 1970s of the link between tobacco and cancer. And there is substantial scientific evidence that the globe is warming now. We are to the point of arguing the rate. So far, we have underestimated the rate of warming. Probably because were weren't adjusting properly for soot.
