Avalon - For the benefit of the slow learners who spout skepticism or denial of global warming, citing our cold weather or the "climates" of the seasons: Our cold weather does not disprove global warming. Global warming means that the average temperature of the entire planet, over decades, is increasing. It doesn't mean that we can't have cold winters. "Climate" is the average weather conditions of a place over the course of decades. We experience the weather of the seasons, not the climates.
