Yes, when we keep having hundred year events over and over, several standard deviations from the mean e.g. the arctic ice melt in 2007 and this again this year, when the melt was/is 3 or 4 standard deviations from the mean. The probability of that being random is almost nil. I won't try to explain that to Inhofe-lol. Just 2 standard deviations from the mean which is that shaded area on the arctic ice melt chart the rat is always posting, puts us in the 97%. 3 standard deviations puts us in the 99%. So we have had two 99%+ arctic ice melts in the last 4 years. As mentioned, the probabiity of that happening due to random events is very very low.
