Yes, that's been known to happen...
I grew up in the Finger Lakes region of New York. We were under a mile of ice only 15,000 years ago which isn't that long ago when you think about it.

Definitely not. The fastest warming portion of the planet is the Arctic and that's where the extreme cold has to come from. There are indeed fewer record lows over time, although Michigan and Illinois (I think) both set all-time state-wide record lows for the month of April. But if this cold pattern had happened 30 or 40 years ago, there would have been more record lows.

There is such a thing as MAN MADE LOCAL WEATHER change. Regional climate is made up of local weather.
We DO have an effect, although it is minimal, and is balanced out by nature in the long run.
The biggest problem we have in discussing this subject is the terminology.
Climate change, Anthropomorphic climate change, Global Warming, etc.
They are used interchangeably, and yet they are completely separate issues.
I think i agree as long as you dont want to affect my life.
What is it they say ? All politics is local.... and so is the weather.
