I do hope they're not taking eyes off the incidents that really matter, but it seems they have been rather busy lately. I'm still expecting we'll see some unfortunate accident blamed on global warming...
Well it depends if the 'increases in size and intensity' of bad weather patterns does come to pass you would expect to see accidents resulting from such. For instance, more intense thunderstorms causing turbulent structural failure, or the passage of warm fronts closer to the equator, bringing more freezing rain, therefore real severe icing, to lower latitudes. Weather patterns 'catching out' a pilot because they were not typical to the region, or maybe not even forecast due to forecast models not being up to it.
That sort of stuff could fall into the 'global warming/climate change' basket.
There is some interesting stuff going on down south that could cause some interesting weather over Australia for the next few weeks.
