Consider this post from Watts Up With That.
Excerpt:
A brutal and historical cold snap has so far caused 80 deaths in South America, according to international news agencies. Temperatures have been much below normal for over a week in vast areas of the continent. In Chile, the Aysen region was affected early last week by the worst snowstorm in 30 years. The snow accumulation reached 5 feet in Balmaceda and the Army was called to rescue people trapped by the snow.
In Argentina, the snow in the region of Mendoza, famous for its winery, was described by local meteorologists as the heaviest in a decade. The temperature in the morning of July 16th was the lowest in the city of Buenos Aires since 1991: -1.5C. The cold snap caused a record demand for energy and Argentina had to import electricity from Brazil. Many industries in Argentina were shut down due to gas shortage.
It snowed in nearly all the provinces of Argentina, an extremely rare event. It snowed even in the western part of the province of Buenos Aires and Southern Santa Fe, in cities at sea level.
And more from a different Watts Up With That post. A map!
It’s global warming!!!

The most famous beach of Argentina, Mar del Plata, was whitened by the snow in the morning of July 15th, a scene only seen in recent memory in 1991, 2004 and 2007.

This is why theologians should leave science to the scientists…Practically everywhere in the WORLD is experiencing the warmest temps since records where kept in the 1880’s. (source: http://www.noaanews.noaa.gov/stories2010/20100715_globalstats.html) There were several new reports released:
http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2010/07/29/climate-change-study-noaa.html
Sysnopsis: “A comprehensive review of key climate indicators confirms the world is warming and the past decade was the warmest on record,” the annual State of the Climate report declares.
Compiled by more than 300 scientists from 48 countries…
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/7914611/Met-Office-report-global-warming-evidence-is-unmistakable.html
sysnopsis: A new climate change report from the Met Office and its US equivalent has provided the “greatest evidence we have ever had” that the world is warming.
But I believe I know why you ignore the evidence that is presented by sooooo many sources. A recent University of Michigan report revealed that people want to believe the things they already believe to avoid cognitive dissonance, a term the researchers coined backfire, i.e., the researchers “found that misinformed people, particularly political partisans, rarely changed their minds when exposed to corrected facts in news stories. In fact, they often became even more strongly set in their beliefs. Facts, they found, were not curing misinformation. Like an underpowered antibiotic, facts could actually make misinformation even stronger.”
So…your anecdotal evidence doesn’t make a theory in scientific circles. I know it does in biblical arenas because you’re used to believing things that can’t be proven/disproven!

Jerry,
It’s fun to point out cold temps in usually warm areas. It’s fun to point out how Antarctic ice is thickening. But few on this side of the GW issue are worried about warming or even deny that it might be. The issue has always been the question of “why?”. Warming happens. It just does. There is nothing mere mortals can do about it but wait it out for the inevitable change of direction, when it will then start cooling again.
