That's the problem with this whole deal. The media and other's (not the scientists) are the one's doing all the talking. They take things out of context and oversimplify them so that people like Rush Limbaugh can go out and denounce the whole thing when something doesn't fit perfectly.

For example--all the people who point to this cold, long winter as "proof" that global warming is not occurring. This is not proof. We will still have winter if the globe warms. That is the point of this whole thing--more extreme highs and lows. That means hotter summers and colder winters. There will still be outliers and situations that don't fit the model perfectly.
