I never expected global warming to be so cold. Seems like whatever happens, we can blame good ol global warming

Got to blame someone or something when you lack common sense don't you? Isn't it odd that animals don't beetch about the weather or much of anything else? They deal with it. People would rather blame and ***** about being uncomfortable rather than preparing for whatever life may bring. When has blaming or beetching ever fed or kept anyone warm? When there is no electricity or gas for heat a lot of people are going to have to learn to cut wood and build a damn fire...aren't they! After blaming that tornado or earthquake that destroyed their home, who do most blame next?, the government for not helping you start over, God for bring it down on them, but never themselves for not rolling up their sleeves and doing what we were born to do.....SURVIVE.
We have become so dependent on others to tell us why things happen and who or where to place BLAME, we have lost sight of the real task in life...again....SURVIVE. When things got tough for my cousin, (after being paralyzed in an accident, and blaming no one), she would say " Wish in one hand and sheet in the other, see which gets full first." "There's no room for blame here, just room to improve what I got left."

The answer is in fluid dynamics. As you introduce heat to a system in one area, it causes movement of heat to other areas (or loss of heat in previously warm areas as air masses displace one another). Keep in mind that one half of the globe is experiencing more heating than another at any given time of year (during the Northern Hemisphere's winter is when the most occurs, because the Southern Hemisphere is mostly water, which absorbs more heat than land).
So here's an example. Think about a hot cup of coffee. Then add some cold cream to it. Does the entire cup suddenly turn creamy brown? No, of course not. It eddies and swirls, and doesn't become consistent for several minutes. The effect is similar when additional heat is added to a climate system. It introduces chaos and movement.
The net effect of global warming may indeed be a mini-ice age in Europe should the Gulf Stream shut down due to melting fresh water from Greenland, for example. The point is, global warming doesn't mean that the entire earth heats up consistently. It means that the additional heat creates additional chaotic movement of air masses. This is why the problem goes beyond rising sea levels: the very nature of fertile versus infertile growing zones may change for the long term.
So don't listen to people who say "gee, it's cold this year, I guess that means there's no such thing as global warming". Those people don't know what they're talking about.

If global warming were a true principle, no location on earth would be able to "buck the trend" (CNN Anchor's own words) like Iceland is. If global warming were a scientific principle, there would be experiments designed on a scale and with correct controls to test and replicate the events. If global warming truly were the fault of humans, humans would be able to correct it.
All the world is a buffered system. As conditions near the asymptotic maximum for efficient operation, the buffers will counteract any perterbation without us lifting a finger and restore balance.

In the 1970s they were predicting an ice age. Global warming is what we got when they realized that they were full of baloney.
This winter can be blamed on El Nino.

If your average coldest winter temperature over the last 50 years is -25, and then there is a trend where that average coldest temperature is -22, that is still damned cold, but *does* reporesent a warming trend. Global trends and temorary local observations are often at odds. You need to look at the big picture.

It's funny how all the liberal nuts always blame everything on global warming. On the FoxNews Channel the other day, I saw two scientists prove once and for all that there is no global warming.

After about 3 weeks of freezing weather we are praying for global warming in Kansas.

It's amazing how people have such short memories.
The winters of today are so much warmer.
A cold snap like the one we are now experiencing would have been the 2nd or 3rd during a winter 20 years ago. Not the first.

Right.
I saw an accident on the way to work today so I ask the cop what happened...global warming he said. Go figure.
