Can't believe I even need to say this

Since it's been so cold here the last few days, you can't go too long without someone saying, "Well, so much for global warming." This is so stupid it defies understanding. It's not called "northeastern United States warming." If it's especially cold here, that only means it's especially warm somewhere else. It could be somewhere in the Southern hemisphere, or it could be in San Diego (averaging about 12 degrees above normal temperatures for the last 10 days).
