If you can "feel" climate change happening, then we have left the realm of science and entered the world of spiritual emotionalism. It sounds a lot like Evangelical Christians who can "feel" the Holy Spirit entering them, etc.

You're right. Anecdotal data points and gut feelings aren't as useful as regular measurement.

Incidentally, the article specifically mentions a series of measurements, indicating that there is indeed a climate change going on, and while it also mentions short-term natural changes as a contributing factor, it also mentions that the scientist responsible for the study believe human factors are a large part of it.
