Got that? No matter what the weather, it's all due to warming. This isn't science; it's a kind of faith.
From Investors Business Daily: The Abiding Faith Of Warm-ongers
Nothing makes fools of more people than trying to predict the weather. Whether in Los Angeles or London, recent predictions have gone crazily awry. Global warming? How about mini ice age?
The sight of confused and angry travelers stuck in airports across Europe because of an arctic freeze that has settled across the continent isn't funny. Sadly, they've been told for more than a decade now that such a thing was an impossibility — that global warming was inevitable, and couldn't be reversed.
This is a big problem for those who see human-caused global warming as an irreversible result of the Industrial Revolution's reliance on carbon-based fuels. Based on global warming theory — and according to official weather forecasts made earlier in the year — this winter should be warm and dry. It's anything but. Ice and snow cover vast parts of both Europe and North America, in one of the coldest Decembers in history.

As if to prove their point, here is an article written by Judah Cohen for the NY Times (and reprinted in the Virginian Pilot) and linked by DRUDGE. Bundle Up, It’s Global Warming
THE earth continues to get warmer, yet it’s feeling a lot colder outside....
How can we reconcile this? The not-so-obvious short answer is that the overall warming of the atmosphere is actually creating cold-weather extremes. Last winter, too, was exceptionally snowy and cold across the Eastern United States and Eurasia, as were seven of the previous nine winters.
For a more detailed explanation, we must turn our attention to the snow in Siberia.
Cohen brings in El Nino, solar variability, arctic sea ice, Siberia, the Jet stream, snow reflecting heat into space, and none of them is persuasive ... unless you are a true believer.
And to think that atheists make fun of Christians for their faith.
