you put very nicely into words what I've been shouting at the radio for the last decade, as Australia experiences record breaking bushfires, cyclones, droughts and floods, and even f**ing time - if climate change gets mentioned at all, which it often doesn't, there will be an f***ing scientist or meteorologist who says exactly that.."one single event can't be said, definitively...."! And the result is as you say, which is that STILL people will not say, for instance, they will NEVER say - HALF the GBR is DEAD because of the direct effect of climate change, because the sea is too warm, which also causes freak cyclones, and changes to weather patterns, unprecedented (good word) bushfires in Tasmania, killing 1000 year old trees, etc etc. And so the government, which knows perfectly well that the climate is hotting up but is determined to dodge any responsibility and wait for disasters to provide new business opportunities, can get away with saying that they are taking sufficient action to reduce emissions in line with Paris, when they are doing nothing, and selling more coal and gas like there's no tomorrow. But there will be no tomorrow, unfortunately for THEIR children, for whom they evidently dont give a damn. I also live off grid on a small farm, and also get angry, but currently looking to a nuclear winter to save us from climate change as the most likely scenario. Our leaders seem quite keen on that too, with PM Morrison already offering help to Trump to "combat Iran" before we've even been asked!
