Third example of scientist who believes in global warming but not that extreme recent weather events exemplify it. Following examples of NASA and NOAA scientists, Japanese climatology professor says hot weather in Asia not an example of CO2, is naturally caused

"“The hot summer this year is not a result of human activities, but it is true we have increasingly hotter summers and global warming is in the background,” said Takehiko Mikami, a climatology professor at Teikyo University in Tokyo.

The record temperatures are a result of multilayered high pressure systems extending over much of the region, including Japan, South Korea and China, Kenji Okada, a forecaster at the Japan Meteorological Agency, said today. 

“Descending air currents get heated when compressed by many layers of high pressure,” Okada said by phone from Tokyo. “A lack of low pressure between the layers makes it difficult to create clouds, preventing temperatures from falling even at night. Normally, temperatures are reset by the next morning, but that isn’t happening now.” The pattern will remain for some time, Okada said."...via Junk Science

Two biggest 2012 US extreme weather events, Sandy storm and drought, are often claimed by terror profiteers as 99% sure examples of human caused global warming, but US government NASA and NOAA scientists who believe in global warming found otherwise. Both were natural events, not caused by CO2:

Peer reviewed NASA study found Superstorm Sandy a one in 714 year freak, not due to excess human CO2:

5/28/13, "On the impact angle of Hurricane Sandy's New Jersey landfall," Geophysical Research Letters, AGU, Hall and Sobel

"We calculate that under long-term average climate conditions, a hurricane of Sandy's intensity or greater (category 1+) makes NJ landfall at an angle at least as close to perpendicular as Sandy's at...a return period of 714 years."...

US NOAA scientific study found US 2012 weather extreme drought not due to human activity or planet warming:

“A new federal study reveals that global warming is not to blame for last year’s extreme drought that crippled the central Great Plains. The study conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Drought Task Force places the blame on natural variations.“…
