Snow, Snow, Snow

The East Coast of the United States is currently getting buried under tons of snow I have seen the responses that I expected. These following two posts are from Conservapedia's news portion on the right hand side of their main page:
Atlanta will see its "first white Christmas since the Chester Arthur administration" in 1882. [20] Global warming???
and
Global warming? Many Europeans have been unable to get home for Christmas due to cold, severe weather. "Bitterly cold temperatures brought problems in Scandinavia" and "Britain's aviation regulator said it had written to several airlines about the 'unacceptable' failure to properly feed and accommodate stranded passengers." [23]
(See here and here)

I don't know how many times scientists will have to say it but global climate change has global in it for a reason. It will still be colder in winter than summer no matter what happens. With that said there are two posts over at the Climate Denial Crock of the Week blog that describe what is occurring. They are must reads and show that this "cold" is regional and has an explanation.

1) White Christmas in Southeast. Heatwave in Hudson Bay.
2) Why is the UK cold? The NAO is stuck.
