Yeah, I thought the same when I saw the headline: that the global warming denier trolls will be screaming about this and claiming it proves their point. Why does no one understand that global warming creates weather extremes? It doesn't mean that everything warms up at the same time. But facts are pesky things.
I pity the poor idiots that send spam emails out crying "it was really cold somewhere, so global warming is a joke!". A cold spell or warm spell somewhere on earth is not evidence for or against any global warming or cooling trend, or evidence for or against human activity being responsible for any trend. Give me a break!
