Worrying to say the least. That's not to suggest that those who take the opportunity to blame every event on climate change should applauded for doing so....some of them take it a step too far and, as you say, don't research the facts of each event before making their universal 'blame cars/planes/coal/cattle' statements. However, the less 'one off' these events become, perhaps people in a position to effect the changes needed to restrain humanity's impact on the environment (which, to some extent, includes all of us) will take note and do something about it.

Not only are they claiming that everything weather related is "climate change" (Note they're not really using Global Warming any more) but they are now fabricating hoax scientific studies, and seeing who falls for it. Mea culpa, but damn me, at least it was found out quickly...

Climate change is the new God.

And Al Gore is the new Matthew Hopkins.

Its purposefully worded to bring nazis and generally evil people to mind whenever its used. Further more its also used in a very accusation-al way "You, you climate change denier!" (points).
