Well, it got cold, but then it IS winter. What did you expect? If you listen to the news, this is the hottest year on record. Doesn’t seem like it now, but that’s just “weather”, not “climate”. Still I wonder if they’re adding all this record-breaking cold into the equation, or if they’re just going to stick to their story that we’re doomed to hellish warming that will destroy us all. In contrast, Viking mythology hypothesized a hell of unending darkness and cold. Sort of like the winters I endured growing up in Kansas. And we ARE sliding into a solar minimum. The last time that happened we got the Little Ice Age during which the Thames River in London froze solid and hundreds of thousands died from starvation brought on by failing crops.
