Bill McKibben, environmental author and founder of 350.org last week wrote an op-ed piece for the Washington Post on the link between extreme weather events and global warming. He expresses an opinion which is even more powerful in its video form. The science and the scientists, however, are not so certain that this year's biblical weather can be directly tied to climate change.

The video, however, is worth the watch.
