"If you look at the flooding that's going on right now in North Dakota and you say to yourself, 'If you see an increase of two degrees, what does that do, in terms of the situation there?'" Obama told reporters at the White House Monday. "That indicates the degree to which we have to take this seriously."

Obama cites North Dakota floods in call for climate change actionAs if floods have never happened before.
They certainly don't do their cause a favor when they cite everything that happens as evidence of AGW.
