Extreme weather does not prove the existence of global warming, but climate change is likely to exaggerate it — by messing with ocean currents, providing extra heat to forming tornadoes, bolstering heat waves, lengthening droughts and causing more precipitation and flooding.

Some individuals, most notably Fred Singer, have argued that Dansgaard - Oeschger (D - O) events could be causing the current global warming.
