Eeesh! It does happen, catfish are pretty tough too. I dunno, that had to be one hell of a swing though and I think the "climate scientists" are taking a huge leap in the AGW direction instead of trying to figure out why the temperature swing happened and if it has cyclical or historical relevance.
I am no climate scientist but it seems that the jet stream can cause these wild weather fluctuations. To be honest though the following article did not directly blame global warming for the change in the jet stream, rather the influence of recent re-awoken solar activity.
