Before anyone takes this seriously, it's circumstantial recollection, so your mileage may vary.
I'm sitting in the UK at the moment. We have flooding. Quite severe flooding.
Homes are being destroyed, impressive looking barricades are being erected in liable areas, and the most disturbing thing of all is that it seems to be becoming a trend. For an example, take a look at this. It's not normal.
Perhaps we have had a particularly freakish decade? Perhaps the climate is changing. Hard to say -- I believe that global warming most certainly has something to do with all of this.
I was snowboarding in Italy over Christmas this year. There was little to no snow on Rittner Horn in the dolomites. This was also the case last year when I was there.
A friend, who has been going to that particular mountain for about 20 years, has consistently told me that it was once possible to ski down from his family's hut to the ski-lift, ride up, and ski back to the hut. When I was there, this was patently not possible, but this story was backed up by many people with whom I spoke.

It can't be that global warming has no effect.
