Idiot is too kind a word for anyone who thinks a record cold winter over a large portion of the northern hemisphere during the same period the sun reached a 100 year minimum in solar output has no relevance regarding GW. Such an individual should not be a trader because he would be incapable of seeing a potential trend change.
Yeah, kinda like the AGW nutters blaming a WEATHER event on GW, uh???

No, not really. One can rightfully say that every weather event is being effected by GW because all weather events are now occurring in a higher enthalpy (heat content) and unusual atmospheric system. However one cannot rightfully say that any weather event dictates climate trends. Only after decades of considering ALL weather events can anything be said that is meaningful about climate trends.
Wrong.
There has never been a comparable period in history as today. Never before has 9 billion tons per year of the greenhouse gas CO2 been released as is now occurring. The rate of warming and CO2 increase is unprecedented. Certainly within the past few thousand years. The state of the climate is unusual.

Tradewinds? Something else not predicted? According to this article there has been a hiatus. Sounds like a trend to me, and I don't know of anyone who thinks a single weather event equals a trend change. As indicated in this article, the warming has not panned out over the last decade. That's not me saying it. See last paragraph.
“This hiatus could persist for much of the present decade if the tradewind trends continue; however rapid warming is expected to resume once the anomalous wind TRENDS abate,” the authors of today’s study said. “Volcanoes and changes in solar radiation can also drive cooler decades against the backdrop of ongoing warming,” they said.
Other institutions involved in the research include the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colorado, the University of Hawaii, the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Australia’s Commonwealth Scientific & Industrial Research Organization.
