Yes, I am well aware that extreme local weather fluctuations do not prove anything about long-term climate trends. However, there are a few points to be made regarding
this story:
1. When extremely hot weather variations occur, it is often mentioned as a confirmation of Global Warming., so the opposite is certainly worth noting.
2. It is strange for record-setting cold temperatures to occur despite a consistently warming climate.
3. The United States is the most relevant location to consider regarding Global Warming, given that its temperature monitoring infrastructure is the most reliable. Despite this, a blogger just discovered a bug in NASA's software, which caused temperatures to be revised, revealing that five of the 10 hottest American years were prior to World War II. This is, of course, highly suspicious if there is a genuine warming trend.
