AP: Who are you going to believe, us or your freezing ass?!?

According to AP, these record cold temperatures mean nothing and the earth is still warming; and women and minorities will suffer the most. [I may have made that last part up but it seems to be standard practice in the old media].

Beijing had its coldest morning in almost 40 years and its biggest snowfall since 1951. Britain is suffering through its longest cold snap since 1981. And freezing weather is gripping the Deep South, including Florida's orange groves and beaches.

Whatever happened to global warming?

Such weather doesn't seem to fit with warnings from scientists that the Earth is warming because of greenhouse gases. But experts say the cold snap doesn't disprove global warming at all — it's just a blip in the long-term heating trend.

Get that?? A cold snap is a blip and doesn't disprove global warming. But a warming period, despite natural cycles of warming and cooling is irrefutable, "the science-is-settled" proof of doom.

And what period of time constitutes a "blip"; especially when dealing with a planet that has been around for at least billions of years ??
