Yet, aren’t we supposed to be experiencing global warming? The rainy season should be shorter and warmer. I should have had to reduce my aircon temperature setting to make my car cooler.
Strangely enough, I’m told that this is the effect of extreme weather, oh, by scientists in more than 40 scientific societies and academies of science. And I’m supposed to believe them without the logic being made plain for the layman.
I’m supposed to also believe the millions of scientists who say that Darwin’s theory of evolution is the only correct explanation as to why we humans exist the way we do on Earth, even though the logic of it delves into the realm of faith more than that of science.
I’d just like to know why, when global warming is supposed to be about the average temperature of Earth's near-surface air and oceans, the extreme cold weather that the world is experiencing, especially in Europe, is not bringing down the average temperature readings? Even if these cold spells are to be read as few and far between, why aren’t the ice caps freezing over more because of the extreme cold weather that the world is experiencing?
From the recent Copenhagen summit, we can gather that the amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) being released into the atmosphere has not reduced significantly. Shouldn’t the world be experiencing more severe hot spells instead of severe cold ones?Shouldn’t global warming be more beneficial to cold climate countries than not? After all, the GHG that's being released into the atmosphere is supposed to create a giant greenhouse.
If a reasonably educated person like me can’t be easily convinced, how can governments of the world expect the people around the world to do something serious about GHG emission?
Clearly, global warming is not an issue that’s clear-cut. No movie or no documentary is ever going to convince most people to get off their butts to pressure their governments to do something more than just pay lip-service to global warming, especially when there appears to be global cooling right before our eyes.
And no, “extreme weather due to global warming” won’t wash with people caught in heavy rain and in traffic jam, or people caught in floods or extreme snowfall.

Addendum: Britain is facing the coldest winter in 30 years and temperatures could reach -18 C. If the Arctic conditions continue through January it will be the coldest winter since the big freeze of 1978/79.And here we are worried about the polar ice caps melting away…

Addendum 2:
Global warming, huh? I think many scientists around the world may have gone mad...
