Putting it nicely:
Rising average global temperatures means a decrease in the frequency of harsh winters, not in the end of harsh winters. Also, they are average temps, different areas will experience different extremes of said averages.
Putting it harshly:
Idiots only focus on the "now" and don't trouble themselves with the past or future. They ignore entirely the fact that things have been on a steady rise because, right now, they are cold.

I'm not saying global warming is man-made, I'm saying you have to be a moron to think it's not happening.
In 2006, the average temperature was 2.0°F above the 30-year average in Columbus. Nationally, the average 2006 temperature was at least 0.5°F above normal at 87% of the locations studied.
Last year the monthly average temperature for Columbus was never below freezing, not December, not January, not February. 40 and rainy is our average winter weather.
But I digress.
