All right guys, settle down. The experts have said we have global

I'm sure everyone is aware of this, but just in case...

The concept of global warming is just that...a global annual average.
Those who predict it are *also* predicting more extreme weather in
general. So its quite possible to both have global warming and harsh
winters.

It must be nice to be able to promote, and get tax-payer supported funding
for, a theory such that no matter what happens, those occurrences are
proof that your theory is correct.

Really hot summers? Proof of global warming.

Really cold winters? Proof of the temperature extremes being caused by
global warming.

Really warm winter (as of up to Jan this year)? Obvious

Really rainy summer? Proof of the extremes caused by global warming.

Lots of hurricanes? Proof of global warming

Lower than average number of hurricanes (2006), especially after the dire
predictions of 2005? .... crickets

Unfortunately, for the rest of us, our theories have to be demonstrated
in a more binary fashion.

Man, whatta racket.
