I thought their point was that it could be consistent with the theory in response to idiots on Fox news who claimed it proved the opposite. But these small trends in weather are not the proof on either end. "The difference between weather and climate is a measure of time. Weather is what conditions of the atmosphere are over a short period of time, and climate is how the atmosphere "behaves" over relatively long periods of time." (taken from some sciency looking site.) I realize that I may be preaching to the choir here, and you may know much more about the science supporting climate change than I do. But I believe this distinction is important because weather variations don't prove or disprove of climate change. I read an article a while back stating that climatologists are agreeing more and more that all the weird weather we've been having is indeed linked to global warming. Here's a good link: http://energy.nationaljournal.com/2011/07/extreme-weather-and-climate-ch.php
