Previously, ''weather is not climate'' was mantra, but now addition boost from GH gases was influencing every event.http://www.theage.com.au/national/climate-change-a-key-factor-in-extreme-weather-experts-say-20130303-2fefv.html …

"behind the litany of broken heat and rainfall records this year, a clear pattern has now emerged." Takes time to figure these things out.

Wtf does intensity have to do with prevalence?

Not intensity. U said no-one says carbon (sic) (AGW) to be relevant factor. BoM "basic physics" factor climate change into cyclone predict.
