"If even slight global cooling remains evidence of global warming, what isn't evidence of global warming? What we have here is a nonfalsifiable hypothesis, logically indistinguishable from claims for the existence of God. This doesn't mean God doesn't exist, or that global warming isn't happening. It does mean it isn't science." The arguement - "we had some below average temperatures, therefore global warming should be questioned" - demonstrates a lack of basic understanding of math and statistics. If the statement was "we had some persistently below average temperatures, which are significantly below trend" then we could gain some traction. But having a few months of mild weather means nothing and is just normal climate variations within a larger trend. Anybody who has worked in manufacturing or done research can see right through the bullshit of taking a small sample and concluding some type of global trend change. In any case any reader with a basic college education should recognize that the author is operating at a junior high level of science and math, should just move on to something less amateurish.
