However, the warming is so far manifesting itself more in winters which are less cold than in much hotter summers. According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become "a very rare and exciting event".
"So one of the consequences of a warming ocean near a coastline like the East Coast and Washington, D.C., for instance, is that you can get dumped on with more snow partly as a consequence of global warming," he says.

The problem, as far as I understand it ( and I may be completely wrong so correct me if I am) is that all these alarmist publications are based off "models" put together using our limited data on the Earths historical climate, not forecasts or predictions.
And I am led to believe that in the meteorological field, there is a distinct difference between a climate model and a forecast.
Much like hurricane tracking, they present about 20 or so different models, but they only actually forecast 2 or 3 negligibly different paths for any given storm.

Tell the lie often enough and it becomes the truth.

It's just people who don't actually believe that the climate is changing, are just inept.

Right, but there is a certain ammount of it that certainly is man made. China's factories don't actually help the atmosphere right?
Same thing with those huge garbage patches in the Atlantic and Pacific.
So, there's work we need to do. The carbon tax thing is just a scheme.
