Interestingly, as a departure from the historical temperature record that is proving so controversial, last Sunday the New York Times dedicated the front page to a story on global warming. Headlined, "In Weather Chaos, a Case for Global Warming", scientists pointed out that the recent (and significant) global increase in extreme weather is itself an indicator of Climate Change (albeit not of the causes of this change).

The Climate Progress website has a story about it here. Plenty of caveats of course, such as:
"If you ask me as a person, do I think the Russian heat wave has to do with climate change, the answer is yes," said Gavin Schmidt, a climate researcher with NASA in New York. "If you ask me as a scientist whether I have proved it, the answer is no — at least not yet."

All the same, an interesting piece.
