The global cooling of the 40s-70s was due to particulate matter in the air reflecting sunlight back. Advances in technology and regulation curbed a lot of that. You can look at the research yourself about the Great Lakes, but I am definitely not wrong, as you suggest.
As for your charges against these amorphic "environmentalists" (whoever they are):
1. Weather patterns and climate change are not the same. You seem to lack basic understanding if you insist on linking the two. It's about overall mean temp.
2. Pollution from developing economies is the biggest threat to our stability. Everybody knows that. What you seem to not understand is that the wealthy, developed nations are far better positioned to transition their economies to renewable energy than India and China.
3. I'm not sure what you're talking about deserts for. Deserts are defined by moisture.
You said earlier the overall trend was warming. Then you tell me not to talk about weather?
What caused global cooling during the ice age? What caused global warming at the end of the end of the ice age?
We aren't in better position to move to renewable energy than China and India because renewable energy doesn't work.
Why don't we just round up all the unemployed people in the U.S. and put them to work making wind mills and solar panels. Then we can ship them off to China and India. This would solve our unemployment problem and global wariming, climate change, acid rain, ozone depletion, overpopulation, nuclear winter, desertification, and any other nonsense environmentalists care to come up with.
What's gonna be the next environmental disaster that people are gonna fall for? Let me guess. red dye number 2 in M&Ms kill people. No wait Three Mile island will kill us all. How 'bout all the Kuwati oil fires? Is that one gonna get us. Phew. maybe next time. LOLs. Maybe if any of these things happened I would believe global warming nonsense.
And overall mean temp has been decreasing for 11 years. That's why it changed form global warming to climate change. How can people actually believe we can control the weather anyway. The entire idea is absurd.
Obama and other world leaders fly to Europe and claim they can control future temperatures down to a hundreth of a degree by passing some regulations and raising taxes. LOLs. All in the middle of a blizzard. The entire notion is ridiculous. You have to be a complete clown to think we can control global temperatures or climate.
You brought up deserts. That is why I mentioned them.
0bama is going to try and use the bogus hoax of global warming to enact laws and even instruct the EPA, CIA and NASA to carry his water. The day we kick these little tyrants out of office cannot come soon enough.
It's the "Progressive" agenda.
Haven't the "Progressives" told you that they know better?
No PH.D. Are you a climatologist? Is Al Gore inventor of the Internet?
I am not arguing against the scientists. I am saying that a good many scientists argue against each others conclusions. One thing I do know. When you get a group of experts together and many don't come up with the same conclusions, then it is fair to conclude that what they call evidence might very well be assumptions.
30 years ago Scientists claimed that we were headed for another ice age.
That if we didn't change our ways, we were doomed.
What changed? Technology? Better science? Or another fad?
I am a doubting Thomas. I do not believe that just because some scientists say anything that it is automatically a fact.
I do believe in green policies. Not because I fear global warming but because it makes sense not to crap in the water you drink.
My Grammar? I really wasn't aware that good grammar was required for posting on an inter net forum. But then again I really don't care either.
Why tinman! Can't you give those that are morally superior to us their proper dues? Of course this master dbaiter has wowed everyone here with his most obvious superiority. Complex issues cannot be left to fools, they must be determined by well paid and funded scientists that can come up with a Consensus that will convince us once and for all that freezing temperatures in Florida and dying coral in Florida is man-caused global warming.
Cap and Tax, the sooner the better! I'm fortunate to live in a very Progressive neighborhood and they are so convinced of this threat to civilization that we are going to have a car burning in our town square.
So bring your Prius', Volvo's, Yugo's and gas-guzzling SUV's!
Burn, baby, burn! One way or another we are going to save the planet!
This site is a clearinghouse for ALL the GW, Climategate, IPCC fraud and anything else you can think of.
The IPCC has lost ALL credibility with the latest news of how often they relied on the WWF, Greenpeace, students and mountain climbers for their outlandish disaster scenarios.
For someone who seems obsessed with this one issue, you'd think that you would know the difference between local weather patterns / seasonal norms and overall global temperature.
Seriously. Credibility gone with this post. I thought you knew something about the issue for a while.
Since some of you proclaim to be weather experts now.. I must ask you a question.
If I'm seeing below average temperatures, and the earth is warming, what areas are seeing higher than average? Indeed my lower than average has to be offset somewhere in order to proclaim that warming is taking place despite many areas of the country having lower than normal temperatures.

Why is it that the fanatical alarmists always point to weather patterns to bolster their claims?
for the denial people, if its a cold day in chicago-- that is irrefutable proof there is not such thing as global warming.
