To preface, I am inclined to agree with the anthropogenic climate change hypothesis. But the claims in this article are no better than climate change skeptics pointing to a particularly cold winter or mild summer as evidence for their position.

How can you possibly conclude this is caused by climate change vs. being a 100, 200, or 1000 year storm? Freak weather events have been occurring for billions of years before the industrial revolution.

Climate change is a gradual process that may in fact make such storms more likely, but pinning any single storm on climate change is suspect.
