"how do you justify flying a bunch of people from around the world to an expensive Mexican resort so that they can discuss Global Warming?"

It's faster than walking. It would take some folks a few years to get there.

"You should't be seeing more record cold temps if the entire planet is warming up.. "

Last June, during the International Polar Year conference, James Overland suggested that there are more cold and snowy winters to come. He argued that the exceptionally cold snowy 2009-2010 winter in Europe had a connection with the loss of sea-ice in the Arctic. The cold winters were associated with a persistent ‘blocking event’, bringing in cold air over Europe from the north and the east.

Last year’s cold winter over northern Europe was also associated with an extreme situation associated with the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), with the second lowest value for the NAO-index on record (see figure below).
