Global warming does NOT mean that the temperature throughout the year in all parts of the world will be consistently warmer. What it does mean is that there is a warmer average of temperatures throughout the world throughout the course of an entire year or decade. Example, most of the hottest years on average ever known to man (since we started keeping records) have all occurred within the last decade or so.As a result of higher sea levels, warmer temperatures, etc...there is a direct affect on the weather systems of the globe, which in turn causes GREATER and more frequent cases of drastic weather such as more catastrophic hurricanes (with greater frequency), more storms like tropical rain storms in areas where they are not often seen (due to the increased overall temperature), harsher winters, etc.If the summers are hotter overall, this in turn affects the cycle of weather throughout the year, which leads to harsher winter.The problem is...most people misinterpret the term "global warming" to merely mean that the weather throughout the entire year should always get warmer, and this is simply not the case.

Nice. Sorry if I came off as condescending...it was not my intent. I've just been posting that same explanation post in various forums and as replies to various emails (and a lot on Facebook), so...I had it handy.Glad you're not upset. Cheers!
