More conservative estimates put it at a 1 in 100000 chance.

This is not to say climate changed "caused" the heat wave, but the likelihood of the heatwave occurring can be attributed to climate change. Here's a nice video explanation:

Looks like bad math by the NCDC:

of course climate change caused this. The climate changed from normal to damn hot.

Nice link there. Thanks. Cant believe we still have muppets that dont believe in AGW. Such evil people No amount of evidence will convince them.

So bad math aside even if it was true it would only be a statistical anomaly of comparing temperatures and showing what factors actually causes it.

LOL good observation.

Amazing how some muppets will again latch on to bad science to support their beliefs. Talk about evil people indeed...

Bullsh*t, go ahead Swa, speak your mind just don't get vulgar or too personal.Your comment was well inline.

Techne is an old ghoti trumpet blower as if he is a huge fan or something(I havent yet put my finger on it-maybe an alter ego),ignore his post.
