They certainly didn't try to support their climate change claim in that article. One or two sentences mentioning climate change. I guess it is a foregone conclusion.
Like Bangladesh is not one of the historically climate-afflicted countries on the globe, with huge floods on a regular basis. Suddenly now it is due to climate change.

I can't remember the last article that tried to support the theory. It's just ' the great I am'!

Yep. Guest on local radio station yesterday afternoon went thru the whole gamut of disasters and ill effects of climate change for about forty minutes; the compliant presenter offering opportunities rather than questioning any statement by the doomsayer. One pronouncement suggested that wine production would no longer be possible in Australia. ** ** I may have to emigrate.

Science & Environment CO2 emissions threaten ocean crisisWriting in Science, experts say the oceans are heating, losing oxygen and becoming more acidic because of CO2.
They warn that the 2C maximum temperature rise for climate change agreed by governments will not prevent dramatic impacts on ocean systems.
And they say the range of options is dwindling as the cost of those options is skyrocketing.
Twenty-two world-leading marine scientists have collaborated in the synthesis report in a special section of Science journal. They say the oceans are at parlous risk from the combination of threats related to CO2. It is clear, they say, that CO2 from burning fossil fuels is changing the chemistry of the seas faster than at any time since a cataclysmic natural event known as the Great Dying 250 million years ago.
They warn that the ocean has absorbed nearly 30% of the carbon dioxide we have produced since 1750 and, as CO2 is a mildly acidic gas, it is making seawater more acidic. www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-33369024
There goes the little mermaid! Who are these guys? 1. Professor Manuel Barange, director of science at the Plymouth Marine Laboratory 2-22. Unspecified.
Math problem of the day: How many years would it take, at current CO2 emissions, to lower the avg. ph of sea water (avg. ph = approx. 8.1 I believe) at a 30% absorption rate by 0.1? Someone has probably published such a number ... or inserted it in a model?

The Holy See has seen, and is reacting! Pope Francis recruits Naomi Klein in climate change battle
She is one of the world’s most high-profile social activists and a ferocious critic of 21st-century capitalism. He is one of the pope’s most senior aides and a professor of climate change economics. But this week the secular radical will join forces with the Catholic cardinal in the latest move by Pope Francis to shift the debate on global warming. Naomi Klein and Cardinal Peter Turkson are to lead a high-level conference on the environment, bringing together churchmen, scientists and activists to debate climate change action. Klein, who campaigns for an overhaul of the global financial system to tackle climate change, told the Observer she was surprised but delighted to receive the invitation from Turkson’s office. www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jun/28/pope-climate-change-naomi-kleinMay your soul grow weak and shudder when your captain tells you true that the road to hell is paved in tons of CO2.

Pretty amazing photo! Yeah! We had a nasty little cell move thru town that dropped a couple of inches of rain and tried to form a funnel. Got some rotation on radar ... set off the sirens ... blew a couple of squirrels toward Illinois ... but didn't amount to much otherwise. That was the second one in two weeks. Our normal June rainfall is about 4" ... we got 7.5" this year.
