It's called ... weather.

The Arctic has been warming about twice as fast as the rest of the Northern Hemisphere. Studies are showing its changing the course of the jet stream, which steers weather systems from west to east, with “wavier” patterns – meaning steeper troughs and higher ridges that allow for cold fronts to come down from the north.

You have it the wrong way round. Mann has taken somebody who called him a fraud to court in a libel case. And is going to win of course, because no evidence of wrongdoing has ever been produced.
Just as there is no evidence that he is right. Which is the reason why they keep taking him to court. It dosn't help that you could feed random numbers into his equasions and end up with the same results.

Dear, try not to get ALL your news from the anti-science right wing -- as you display today.
Oh, unlike you I look at all the claims before I come to a conclusion. Which is the reason why I had by doubts about AGW in the beginning. Little things like some were claiming that the melting north pole ice cap was going to flood the world didn't mesh with the fact that most of that ice was floating. That the earth had been warming since the end of the last ice age.

Also, did you know that there is a study that refers to the anti-science left. Which of course you must consider yourself a proud member.

I on the other hand consider science to be science and poltics to be politics and what you are talking about is simple politics wearing a lab coat. Which does not make it any more science than a truck driver wearing a evening gown a beauty queen. Both are just as ugly.

No, because you only use extremist right wing ideological websites.

Such as Climatedepot which is written and put out by Marc Moreno (Senator James Inhofe's former communication director, former Rush Limbaugh producer, and professional paid lobbyist.

Is NASA "stupid"?

Evidence: Climate change: How do we know?

The Earth's climate has changed throughout history. Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization. Most of these climate changes are attributed to very small variations in Earth’s orbit that change the amount of solar energy our planet receives.

The current warming trend is of particular significance because most of it is very likely human-induced and proceeding at a rate that is unprecedented in the past 1,300 years.1

Earth-orbiting satellites and other technological advances have enabled scientists to see the big picture, collecting many different types of information about our planet and its climate on a global scale. Studying these climate data collected over many years reveal the signals of a changing climate.
Certain facts about Earth's climate are not in dispute:

The heat-trapping nature of carbon dioxide and other gases was demonstrated in the mid-19th century.2Their ability to affect the transfer of infrared energy through the atmosphere is the scientific basis of many JPL-designed instruments, such as AIRS. Increased levels of greenhouse gases must cause the Earth to warm in response.

Ice cores drawn from Greenland, Antarctica, and tropical mountain glaciers show that the Earth’s climate responds to changes in solar output, in the Earth’s orbit, and in greenhouse gas levels. They also show that in the past, large changes in climate have happened very quickly, geologically-speaking: in tens of years, not in millions or even thousands.3
The evidence for rapid climate change is compelling:

• Sea level rise
Global sea level rose about 17 centimeters (6.7 inches) in the last century. The rate in the last decade, however, is nearly double that of the last century.4

• Global temperature rise
All three major global surface temperature reconstructions show that Earth has warmed since 1880.5 Most of this warming has occurred since the 1970s, with the 20 warmest years having occurred since 1981 and with all 10 of the warmest years occurring in the past 12 years.6 Even though the 2000s witnessed a solar output decline resulting in an unusually deep solar minimum in 2007-2009, surface temperatures continue to increase.7

• Warming oceans
The oceans have absorbed much of this increased heat, with the top 700 meters (about 2,300 feet) of ocean showing warming of 0.302 degrees Fahrenheit since 1969.8

• Shrinking ice sheets
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased in mass. Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost 150 to 250 cubic kilometers (36 to 60 cubic miles) of ice per year between 2002 and 2006, while Antarctica lost about 152 cubic kilometers (36 cubic miles) of ice between 2002 and 2005.

• Declining Arctic sea ice
Both the extent and thickness of Arctic sea ice has declined rapidly over the last several decades.9

• Glacial retreat
Glaciers are retreating almost everywhere around the world — including in the Alps, Himalayas, Andes, Rockies, Alaska and Africa.

• Extreme events
The number of record high temperature events in the United States has been increasing, while the number of record low temperature events has been decreasing, since 1950.

• Ocean acidification
Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30 percent.12,13 This increase is the result of humans emitting more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere and hence more being absorbed into the oceans. The amount of carbon dioxide absorbed by the upper layer of the oceans is increasing by about 2 billion tons per year.14,15

there have been many dismissed arguments from the science community that the so called global warming was just the E.P.A.'s way to over regulate greenhouse gases, and a way to tax Americans un contitutionally.

Global warming hoax exposed

The second faction might be called the Soft Power Faction. Their philosophy might be summed up that they think its “possible to kill more flies with honey than with vinegar.” Their preferred path to global population control and lowering of the growth rates in China and elsewhere is through promoting the fraud of global warming and imminent climate catastrophe. Al Gore is linked to this faction. So is British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. They see globalist institutions, especially the United Nations, as the best vehicle to advance their agenda of global austerity.

The Environmental Protection Agency is using its power to advance the objective of the environmental movement to deny Americans access to the energy that sustains the nation’s economy and is using the greatest hoax ever perpetrated, global warming—now called “climate change”—to achieve that goal.

“This standard isn’t the once-and-for-all solution to our environmental challenge,” said Lisa Jackson, the EPA administrator,“but it is an important commonsense step toward tackling the ongoing and very real threat of climate change and protecting the future for generations to come. It will enhance the lives of our children and our children’s children.”

Brilliant scientists like Dr. Stephen Schneider penned articles of the dire consequences of Global Cooling. In 1972 he claimed, "A cooling trend has set in, perhaps akin to the Little Ice Age".(Remember this guy; he'll show up again). 1975, New York Times, "Major cooling may be ahead".

Well, that's enough of that. Time to switch gears or maybe do another 180.
