We're not talking about "single events. That was not the poll, at all. The question was specifically regarding the accumulation of events over the past couple of years, and whether that might represent a trend which one thinks, or does not think, is in any way related to climate change, whether anthropogenic, or not.

Totally scientific.

If you scroll back a few posts you will find one from musicman47, referencing the last four years of record-setting intensities in respective basins. This post and poll was a follow-up to that entry.

Adrinna, rather than dropping in from time to time to complain about posts others put up and do your level-best to nit-pick faults out in them, why not post a few of your own for others to complain about? Too hot in the kitchen?
