Seriously though, globally, what's the score ?

Australia has just had the hottest summer ever and the US 48 contiguous
states have just had their hottest year.

Since that new item NASA has reported:
"NASA Finds Long-Term Climate Warming Trend"
http://science.nasa.gov/science-news...15jan_warming/

and

"Amplified Greenhouse Effect Shifts North's Growing Seasons
"http://science.nasa.gov/science-news/science-at-nasa/2013/10mar_greenhouseshift/

Meanwhile the Sun is fading with NASA saying "We are currently over four
years into Cycle 24. The current predicted and observed size makes this the
smallest sunspot cycle since Cycle 14 which had a maximum of 64.2 in
February of 1906."

It is not just the weather that is Chaotic. The climate is too. Global
warming does not mean temperatures rise evenly all over the globe.
