lol. Well, I find it humorous when a rightwingnut claims that it is cold in his or her state, and therefore, global warming must not be real.

# 1) It's winter in North America. I'd be surprised if it was warm in your state.
# 2) If it's cold in your area, then that is called local cooling, which doesn't invalidate the global warming scenario.
# 3) When we discuss global warming, we're talking about trends. So to pick one data point and say it invalidates the trend does not demonstrate an understanding of trend analysis.

I'm pretty sure you know all of this, which just points to how silly this debate has become. It's more about partisan politics than about really debating the science.
