Quote:How can the average world temperature be inching up and 2010 be tied for the warmest year ever, when places from North Carolina to New England get buried by whopper winter storms?

So far the global average temperature has warmed an average 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880, with bigger changes nearer the poles. And there's even more warming still in the pipeline. "There will still be colder than average winters in a world that is experiencing warming, with plenty of opportunities for snow," Masters wrote.

The latest report on climate change by federal scientists, Global Climate Change Impacts in the U.S., said precipitation has increased by an average of about 5 percent in the past 50 years. It projects that northern areas generally will become wetter, and southern areas, especially in the West, will become drier.

I think a better description of what's happening is man-made Global Climate Change and it's past time to clean up our act on a Global scale.

They blew it by calling it Global Warming due to idiots who think that means no more snow. It should only be called Climate Change.
