I'm just happy that I don't live in a place where I have to shovel global warming off the driveway and sidewalk in the wintertime. I'm getting too old for that kind of thing.

This persistent pattern is called the North American Winter Dipole.
Heads I win, tails you lose.

Warm winter = "Global warming AKA CLIMATE CHANGE !!!! "

Cold winter = "Global warming AKA CLIMATE CHANGE !!! "

You pay somebody to do that for you.

Not a big deal.

Expect more in the years to come.

It appears to me that we have not in the past or our current time frame, been capable of accurately predicting the weather! Example: How accurate have the hurricane projections been? So given the fact that we still can't accurately predict the number and intensity of storms what makes you think we have the ability to accurately determine climate chance. I am not a denier...just a skeptic as anyone with a science background should be. How many times in the past several hundred years have scientists been wrong?

The warming is causing the cooling.

Imagine that, mother nature doing exactly what it wants regardless of how many SUVs are on the road. What a crazy world.
You people who post this garbage should really take the time to educate yourselves on the relationship between weather and climate. I'll give you a hint: they aren't the same.

You're not understanding global warming. Global warming is a general rise in temperatures. Global warming does not mean that very cold weather events disappear.

No, this'll be a win for Global Warming alarmists. Any weather phenomenon can be attributed to Global Warming.

Because people like the OP - and possibly you - don’t understand what heat is, and what effects can be expected as the oceans heat up.

Climate change is what we are seeing, and the cause is global warming.

Yes, it can. That’s because a global phenomenon has global effects. Heat has always driven the earth’s climate. Adding more heat doesn’t change that - it just changes what is happening locally.
