Ok, let's get this straight.

ONE OR TWO INSTANCES OF COLD WEATHER DO NOT DISPROVE GLOBAL WARMING. If global warming said, as a theory, that there would never be a record cold temperature, you might have something. As it is, you are arguing against a strawman.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawman

No one is arguing that there will never be a cold temperature again, or record colds might exist, or anything that asinine.

Your argument is akin to arguing that it's not a 50/50 chance for a coin to land heads-side up, because you just flipped a coin ten times and it came up heads 8 out of 10.

Disclaimer: I'm relatively ambiguous on global warming, and merely think it's true because the majority of scientists say so. I'm no expeRt. If the majority of scientists said something different, I'd agree with something different.

Edited for spelling

How about the last 10 years of data?

See, that's a better example. I'd rather you post stuff like that then "It was cold this one time in Buttfuck, Arkansas, thereby disproving Global Warming!"

I agree, but you have to admit, there sure are a lot of instances in which you have to throw this into the mix.

I lmao listening to intelligent people discuss global warming like it is the end of the world. They are smart people, but they cannot comprehend the government is just using the propaganda for a control tool.

ONE OR TWO INSTANCES OF COLD WEATHER DO NOT DISPROVE GLOBAL WARMING. Problem is that the trend has been colder. Every time for a couple years now, that's peoples response. Just like yours. You have fallen to the faith of Global Warming.

It's not global warming, it's climate change.

Screw global warming. Obama needs to get those two American journalists out of North Korea.
