#5 Right now the eastern seaboard is experiencing a winter-type northeast blow. This variety of storm is exceedingly rare after April 1, and almost unheard of after May 1.

It's the third week of June.

#6 Rember that the buzz words are no longer -- "Global Warming"; but they are "Climate Change". Therefore any deviation from the mean temperature requires massive Government programs, regulation, and intervention. Oh, and making sunscreen a prescription drug.

#9 Towards the end of the article

Such major oscillations are part of a bumpy ride toward global warming," said Thomas Karl of the National Climate Center. "For awhile at least this will be the shape of things to come."

"~~stupid~~ People often confuse climate with weather, and this spring is a weather phenomenon," said an Environment Canada spokesperson

"Experts" are sooo good !

#10 Major oscillations? What a shithead. Try a major cooling trend here for nearly a decade -- a cooling that has also been noticed on other planets.

Man-made warming? Bull. Try looking at the big orange-yellow ball of fusion plasma up in the sky that provides all the energy hitting this planet in massive amounts daily. It might actually be the thing at hand, not "man made". What an idiot this "expert" is.

#11 Warm temperatures are evidence for global warming.

Average temperatures are evidence for global warming (somewhat bumpy ride).

Cold temperatures are evidence for global warming (even bumpier ride).

Thus "global warming" is a hypothesis that can not be falsified. It's religion or something but not science.

#12 > Such major oscillations are part of a bumpy ride toward global warming

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH. If you predict a warming trend then prolonged cold should be HIGHLY unlikely.

Has he even considering that maybe the holy model of Gaia is in error (sorry for the blasphemy)?

#14 Alabama has been running 95-98 degrees aout a week now, not really out of range, but a bit earlier than "Normal".

#15 these "experts" conveniently never take into account the trajectory of the earth as it orbits the sun. The minute variances of the earth's orbital movement as it travels closer and farther from the sun impacts the heat factor on the planet & has done so since our planet was formed.
