You seriously think that mankind can overpower nature? More snow during warmer years .. isn't that interesting. Mother natures balance .. Earth to warm? Cause more of it to be covered in reflective white. Not enough? OK how about a volcano .. One of those goes off and we drop the temperature for a few years. The main danger nature poses to humans is if she decides we are a virus. Mankind is no serious threat to nature .. it's the other way around. Don't piss her off. Remember .. Nature doesn't abhor a vacuum. Nature IS a vacuum in 99.999 percent of the places in this universe. Wait!! If we work real hard at it, we can cool the earth down. As long as nature doesn't interfere. But then she does things like letting volcanoes go off .. or big rocks fall from the sky .. or have the sun put out just a little more (or less) heat .. or make really big waves, or storms, or e-bolie .. If we can control all of those things, then we've got nothing to worry about. We just have to educate nature to not interfere with the plan. And always remember .. Al Gore controls mother nature .. he knows stuff.

Snow isn't caused by "years". Are the heavy snowfalls caused by warmer air or cooler air?

More Snow = Global Warming – Oh Really?? (Video) by Lee Hernly on February 15, 2010 · Folks like Contessa Brewer and her cohort Dylan (“Ratfink” as Mark Levin calls him) Ratigan and the many ‘warmers’ (the global warming zealots) out there would have you believe that the extreme snow we folks in the mid-Atlantic are experiencing is because of global warming. Um, no. That would be a false statement. Just like when the liberal ‘warmers’ like Senator Byrd, Senator Boxer, et al tried to tell us several years ago that when it WASN’T snowing, that was because of global warming/climate change. leehernly.com

If higher temperatures are evidence for global warming, and snow storms, or more rain is evidence for global warming, and drought is evidence for global warming etc. Essentially everything is "evidence for global warming". ( numberwatch.co.uk ) Which really means nothing is. Science makes claims that are falsifiable, that can be proven to be wrong if evidence comes up against them. If you consider everything to be evidence for your hypothesis than you are not really doing science. A snowy year is more a weather issue than a climate issue. And yes there are ways for increasing global temperatures to increase snow fall. So a snowy year is not really evidence against anthropogenic global warming, at least not significant evidence. But a hot year, or current computer models are not very significant either. And its understandable that if those pushing major changes to try to counteract perceived anthropogenic global warming tout every drought or hurricane or heat wave as evidence for global warming, that those who oppose the same actions will act similarly. From either side its not the best way to achieve a solid understanding, but from both it might serve to score political points, and for such a major issue, some people, often many people, are going to go for those points.
