Behold the Awesome Power of Global Warming

Lorne Gunter of Canada's National Post says we should 'forget about global warming.' He compiles some interesting data, and suggests that the world may be headed for a new ice age:
Snow cover over North America and much of Siberia, Mongolia
and China is greater than at any time since 1966.
The U.S. National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) reported that
many American cities and towns suffered record cold
temperatures in January and early February. According to
the NCDC, the average temperature in January "was -0.3 F
cooler than the 1901-2000 (20th century) average."
China is surviving its most brutal winter in a century.
Temperatures in the normally balmy south were so low for so
long that some middle-sized cities went days and even weeks
without electricity because once power lines had toppled it
was too cold or too icy to repair them...
...Kenneth Tapping of our own National Research Council,
who oversees a giant radio telescope focused on the sun, is
convinced we are in for a long period of severely cold
weather if sunspot activity does not pick up soon.
Gunter ought to stop making fun of global warming. Doesn't he know there's a consensus?
Besides. All this simply demonstrates that awesome power of man-made global warming. We knew it could cause high temperatures, droughts, and desert expansion, so how long until cold waves are blamed on global warming? Answer, not long:
