It all smells of a little-known, under-studied, non-factual, self-fulfilling prophecy to me.
The Earth's climate changes, it always has and it always will, and there is very little evidence to suggest that what humans are doing are causing it to do anything out of the ordinary, compared to what it may have done in the past.
Can studying the climate determine a way in which we can "mold" the environment / weather to better suit our needs? Perhaps to prevent the cooling or warming that the Earth may have had in mind naturally? Sure, I can accept that's a possibility -- but this "Global warming is happening!" and then when it gets colder saying "No, see! Thats part of global warming, because of <enter reason involving some bullshit currents or whatever you want> to make it sound like global cooling still fits in with global warming" it just drives me nuts.
Bottom line: I have an air conditioner and heater. I'll be fine.
pretty much how i always thought of it....
