The fact that articles like this have to be written is proof positive that we are doomed. Watching Fox News or many of the right blogosphere, it is indisputable, that since winter still exists that disproves Global Warming.
I know they have seized on the "warming" part of the Global Warming, which is an entirely accurate statement the globe as a whole is warming. However at no point does that mean that all points on the globe are warming uniformly. What it says, is that in the aggregate (big word!) the temperature is rising, this has effects on the climate. Any cook will tell you, that you can dissolve way more salt in warm water then in cold water. Air works in the same way. Warm air can hold more moisture then cooler air can. So the natural extension is that if you have slightly warmer global temperatures. More water will evaporate and get trapped in the air. Then all you need is suitably chilly temperatures to generate snow. The more moisture the air carries the bigger the snowfall.
This is basic science. Not that any scientist is blaming this wholly on Global Warming/Climate Change. There is also the well known and defined el Nino effect.
The thing that gives the lie to this ideological assault on science are that these things are never mentioned, here and here.
Weather is not climate.
