Gray, an emeritus professor at the atmospheric science department at Colorado State University, has long railed against the theory that heat-trapping gases generated by human activity are causing the world to warm.
Over the past 24 years, Gray, 77, has become known as America's most reliable hurricane forecaster; recently, his mentee, Philip Klotzbach, has begun doing the bulk of the forecasting work.
Gray's statements came the same day the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change approved a report that concludes the world will face dire consequences to food and water supplies, along with increased flooding and other dramatic weather events, unless nations adapt to climate change.
Rather than global warming, Gray believes a recent uptick in strong hurricanes is part of a multi-decade trend of alternating busy and slow periods related to ocean circulation patterns. Contrary to mainstream thinking, Gray believes ocean temperatures are going to drop in the next five to 10 years.
Gore's documentary, "An Inconvenient Truth," has helped fuel media attention on global warming.

There is a decent probability that this is the case, however it is impossible to be sure.
Earth's weather patterns are a chaotic system. There is no question that the additional energy in the atmosphere as a result of warming is having an impact on weather, however attributing the warming to a particular weather phenomenon is a far more difficult task.

No. Global warming has to do with climatic changes. The current cold snap is not that unusual for early April, and for the most part noteworthy because it coincided with Easter.

What recent weather problems? Are you talking about some corner of the USA? Argentina? Germany? The world is a lot bigger than these places.
