aaaahahahaha yes i have that same weather system moving through. Funny thing, its called weather. Some places it will be hot, some places it will be cold. The 2006 average annual temperature for the contiguous U.S. was the warmest on record. This is called weather- global warming as it is believed, is a subtle background act of slow gradual warming. This has made warmer-than-average conditions more common in the U.S. and other parts of the world. It is unclear how much of the recent anomalous warmth was due to greenhouse-gas-induced warming and how much is just a unusually warm year. I, for one, don’t see really warm temps and go AHA! Global Warming! Some proponents of global warming will take a decidedly alarmist attitude to this (Oh the 2005 hurricane season is part of a hurricane cycle, despite what they will say- none of the references I use and trust make a peep about it, BTW) but most scientists have a more restraind view, and thus comes the understanding that weather will be weather, and while individual severe weather acts may catch the headlines and our attention, they are not Global Warming per say. I too am skeptical of those who say “This was caused by global warming” as is is near impossible to precisely measure its affects on specific weather events. We can see general trends, and the general trend is towards warming and increased temperature. The spikes along the way should be regarded as weather. Global warming is a trend, not weather.
