Weather patterns are driven by climate. No one weather event can ever be linked to climate change, but if you see a sudden increase in extremes -- if, for the sake of argument, you experience a decade of some of the hottest summers, coldest winters, longest droughts, strongest hurricanes, etc etc, then it's a pretty good indication that the Climate is changing. If you couple that to the known link between greenhouse gases and human activity, and the (non-linear) link between greenhouse gases and atmospheric temperature, it isn't difficult to connect the dots.
It's a nonsense, too, that this is somehow a new story. The link was understood well over a century ago. It's only anti-scientific pushback that has led to there being any controversy.
As to the idea that "Scientists need research grants. That costs integrity." -- no doubt this is true to the extent that research proposals have to be written in a way that encourages you to get funding. But the research itself still needs to pass basic tests. A scientist who writes a lot of rubbish is very quickly found out by the rest of the community.
There is no controversy here, except in as much as it helps people to ignore the problem, carry on with their lives as before, and continue to ruin the planet as a result.

Oh Dear. You would need a heart of stone not to laugh....so I laughed. The jolly for the doomsayers got it all wrong again dad. The boat trip to film and bring to attention to the Whirled, all the way to Longyearbyen and all the carbon foolprints that go with it failed to go to plan. Apparently the SS Malmo that had film crew and a documentary team aboard who were to "reveal" the extent of the rampant Glow Bulls got stuck in the fast forming ice and had to be winched to safety thereby burning up even more precious energy resources that are fast diminishing. Thing is this is the 6th.......yes 6th attempt that has fallen foul of the ice that they are trying not to film to show us how fast it is disappearing.
//The reporter, Erofey Schkvarkin clearly has a sense of humour. He adds: "Something is very wrong with Arctic ice, instead of melting as ordered by UN/IPCC, it captured the ship with Climate Change Warriors." //
This is a tweet from Reuters.........after the ship appeared AFTER the ship got stuck.
""The town of Longyearbyen, Norway, is the northernmost — and the fastest-warming — town in the world, where glaciers melt, coffins rise from permafrost and avalanches sweep away houses. More dispatches from a climate-change frontier:""
Haha all gone quiet there though now.

"These are the consumers who keep football fields of computer servers buzzing round the clock to support their social media habits. If being green meant turning off one’s phone for 22 hours a day or foregoing the latest smartphone upgrade, the reasons why such sacrifices are not required would spout from every Gen Z-er and millennial’s lips. Students from the University of California, Irvine, constantly run their air-conditioners in the apartment complex where I spend summers, regardless of how cool the temperature outside is. They drive with their windows sealed and the car AC on, no matter how fresh the day (this is the new driving norm for almost everyone now). The meteoric rise of food-delivery apps, producing torrents of plastic and paper waste and a constant circulation of cars and electric bikes, has been fueled by young people’s demand for convenience and instant gratification. Cooking is apparently unthinkable. At best, one buys precut and washed food in the inevitable plastic containers. A daily Starbucks habit is deemed consistent with railing against environmentally destructive corporate greed."
