Does that "record breaking deep freeze winter" you meniton support a
position that the climate cannot be changing?

Just because the *globe* may be warming, that wouldn't have to mean
that parts of it might not get colder. In fact, if you study up on the
way that temperature differentials between the poles and the tropics
generate winds and currents and how those winds and currents
contribute to local weather patterns, a warmer overall global
temperature can easily result in weird weather in certain sections of
the planet. Warmer temperatures at the poles, regardless of cause, can
really screw up winds and currents, and when the polar temperatures
rise more than the equatorial temperatures that changes the dynamic of
the thermal differential.

Tidal currents will remain pretty much the same, and those are more
prominent in coastal areas than convection currents. The biggest risk
to boating could be a marked increase in the frequency or intensity of
gale force winds, or maybe a serious decline in the normal amount of
wind and that would upset sailors a lot.

I found the basic theory of wind and current generation not all that
tricky a subject to tackle, and it comes in handy when listening to
marine weather forecasts and noting the changes between high and low
pressure cells.
