England Winning The World Cup Could Become Normal

England has done well in recent international matches. Soccer analysts have been arguing for years that England winning the World Cup could become a normal pattern rather than a once in a lifetime occurrence.

Meanwhile, The Atlantic reports :

At the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, on September 8, Jane Lubchenco, the eminent marine scientist who is serving as administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), confirmed that we cannot tie these events to climate change. But Lubchenco, whose agency is responsible for daily weather forecasts, severe storm warnings, and climate monitoring, was clear that these types of disasters are what scientists have been arguing for years “could become normal patterns rather than once-in-a-lifetime” occurrences as carbon dioxide levels in our atmosphere rise. Andy Revkin’s piece about “weird weather” in The New York Times made the same point.
