How does people dying from cold (which happens every year) determine
that there is no global warming? Also, again, specific, immediate
changes in climate (called weather) is very different from global
warming. I thought you understood this.

"Since the mid-19th century, the mean global temperature has increased by
0.7 degrees Celsius. This slight warming is not unusual, and lies well
within the range of natural variation."

"In 2005, a Canadian Greenpeace representative explained global warming can
mean colder, it can mean drier, it can mean wetter. In other words, all
weather variations are evidence for global warming."

Horse****. It's cyclical. Remember the Ice Age? We went through a period of
global cooling then. What ended it? A period of global warming.
