Hand Warmers at the Global Warming Summit

Here's an interesting report about unusual cold weather in North America and Europe. But this bit caught my eye:

Even Cancun, Mexico -- which is hosting the world conference on global warming -- is also experiencing record cold temperatures. The temperature dipped to 54 degrees earlier this week, breaking a 100-year record.

I wonder... how often during runaway global warming do you set 100 year records for new low temperatures? It does seem odd to me. I would think you would be seeing higher highs and higher lows. Not lower lows.

I wonder if the irony of breaking a 100 year record for cold was noted by the delegates at this global warming summit?

And it wasn't just a bit cooler elsewhere:

In England, it was the second coldest first week in December since the U.K. started keeping records in 1659.

And things were down right chilly in the US as well:

It's been a rough week for Americans from the Great Lakes down to Georgia and even Florida.

In Cleveland, Ohio, an early winter snow storm this week paralyzed the city.

A less amount of snow fell in Georgia. However, residents are not used to seeing the white stuff so early -- especially not in December when temperatures usually hover in the 50s and 60s.

This year, nightly temperatures in the Peach State have dropped into the 20s.

In Florida, farmers are counting their losses after their crops were hit with a heavy frost.

Funny how global "warming" means an outbreak of cold weather in lots of different places.
