In the past weeks, we've seen record snowstorms in the northeastern United States, and devastating flooding in Australia, Sri Lanka, and Brazil.  For those of us already concerned about climate change, these ever-more-frequent disasters seem to only confirm our worst fears, but at least in the past, the major news networks have not managed to connect these "wild weather" events directly to global warming.  Now, finally, major newspapers like the New York Times and TV networks like ABC news and Frontline have run some really great stories that state definitively that climate change has a lot to do with the extreme weather we're seeing outside our doors and on frontpage headlines.  As IPCC scientist Richard Somerville states, "This is no longer something that’s theory or conjecture or something that comes out of computer models. We’re observing the climate changing. It’s real. It’s happening. It’s scientific fact."
