Although global warming is playing a very minimal hand in this northeastern temperature wave, the majority of the cause for such warmth is a combination of a reciprocating El Nino session in the Pacific and the presence of the Atlantic Jet Stream further north and west than usual. Global warming is definitely a factor in global temperature, but if this were due to global warming there would be no massive snow storms in the midwest, which there are.

Global warming is sketchy at best. Below is a link taking you to a NASA chart showing the temperature change from 1880 to 2005. Since 1880 the earth's temperature has risen less than 7/10 of 1 degree C. See for yourself here: http://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/2005/2005cal_fig1.gif
There are numerous charts all over the internet showing the same. The fact that people choose to ignore the facts of these charts shows that they have an agenda to convince the masses of something that really is not happening.
In fact here's a link to a secular scientific article that shows the earth was actually warmer in the past than it is today.
http://www.msu.edu/course/isp/203/raeburn_old/fulltext/class9.pdf
And here's an article from a Harvard University study that says: "Such claims have now been sharply contradicted by the most comprehensive study yet of global temperature over the past 1,000 years. A review of more than 240 scientific studies has shown that today's temperatures are neither the warmest over the past millennium, nor are they producing the most extreme weather - in stark contrast to the claims of the environmentalists.
The review, carried out by a team from Harvard University, examined the findings of studies of so-called "temperature proxies" such as tree rings, ice cores and historical accounts which allow scientists to estimate temperatures prevailing at sites around the world.
The findings prove that the world experienced a Medieval Warm Period between the ninth and 14th centuries with global temperatures significantly higher even than today."

I hope that helps...

Sorry, but even though I agree that global warming exists, saying "It is unusually warm here today, so global warming is real." is a lot like saying "I saw no eagles today, so they must be extinct." You can't prove or disprove anything with a single data point. Global warming is a long range, worldwide issue that impacts ALL weather and will continue to do so for many years. It is about CLIMATE change -- what you are experiencing is simply WEATHER, which is always capricious.

Sorry if this is being mean, but I laughed when I read this question!!! Oh no! It's warm today, global warming must exist, I have proof!!! lol lol lol lol!!!
Yeah, here in Minnesota it is 28-35 degrees on average (this year) but it would usually be averaging in the low 20's, but no one is crying about global warming! Do you know what happened in Denver anyway, the whole bunch of snow that was dropped there.

The mild weather this year may or may not be attributed to Global Warming. Go to www.toddgross.com for some very professional, very insightful information.

Goshly. I take it this upsets you? Don't be. Warm bubbles like that happen everywhere. In the north pole the ice can be fresh and you can take your shirt off and get a tan. Since ... thirty ... years ... ago. This is a fascinating society. It'll run like hell from the facts, but can easily be caught ... by hype.
