"now that weather is synonymous with climate change"

It's not; weather extremes aka weather on steroids, is one symptom. Likewise, earlier blooming is a symptom, not a synonym.

A new study finds that mountain wildflowers are blooming for more than a month longer than they did in the 1970s. Above, Wildflowers blooming at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory near Crested Butte, Colo.

"isn't climate change a b*tch....first we were to expect droughts and now we should expect it to rain too much"

Yes. This year I'm in record drought. If we have the predicted El Nino, and it is typical, you will be reading about floods here next winter, prolly worse than '97-98. Is there a reason why you didn't say "bitch"?
