WHAT warm temperatures…? Have you heard about Colorado, where they’ve had three blizzards in a row, or Kansas, where the governor declared a state of emergency because of a winter storm that brought eleven foot high snowdrifts…? Have you heard that thousands of cattle have died in the snow, and more may freeze to death because they can’t get back to shelter, and the ranchers can’t get out to find them…?
Look, I’m sorry, I don’t mean to yell at you. But when you refer to the relatively warm temperatures on the American East Coast, that is only a tiny, tiny portion of the globe! There is a severe winter raging out there. You have just been fortunate, so far, not to have been hit by the storms.

Global warming as defined by the tree-hugging, granola- eating, sandal-wearing environmentalists? No.
Global warming as defined by a natural warming period that the earth cycles through whether humans live here or not? Most likely a factor.
el Nino? Definitely!

Of course it does. I live in New York City and the high today was 76 degrees. In the beginning of January? And seriously, people should ban the song I Dreaming Of A White Christmas this year.

There were similar temps in 1913 in Boston
NYC had record high of 68F on Jan 13, 1932. 70F on Jan 14, 1932 and 67F on Jan 15, 1932
so no

Absolutely.
As if the recent detachment of a 25 sq. mi. block of ice from a glacier near Canada's coast wasn't enough.
