I think you aren't serious and just trying to stir up trouble, so let me try to explain this quickly:
Global warming refers to the average temperature of the polar ice caps. That temperature is getting warmer. Global warming does not refer to how hot or cold it is wherever you live.
I think someone needs to repeat 6th grade Earth Science.
Also, when you introduce huge chunks of ice into the earth's oceans from melting glaciers and polar ice caps, it disrupts the ocean currents, which wreaks havoc on our weather patterns.
My father has his doctorate in Engineering and he still says things like this...
I presume that he understands and is just trying to make me mad, but it is still annoying.
It's 95 degrees today.
Everybody knows that the global warming machine has to suck the heat from somewhere. It sucks so hard it makes some areas colder than they have been in the last 50 years. Any idiot knows that .0000987865435° degree change we have had over the last 7 years is proof the machine is working properly.
After years of trying to convince us it was global warming they couldn't explain these cold spells so instead of losing all the momentum they just changed the name to "climate change" and problem is solved and Al Gore is on yet another board of corporations that specialize in "climate change".
Thank you. Finally, an answer that makes sense.

No, "they" (who's they?) changed the name to "climate change" because people like you don't understand the difference between climate and weather. Every time it snowed, unscientific people everywhere (especially on talk radio and television) could be counted on to say something incredibly stupid like, "Well, so much for global warming! It snowed in January!" So, I suspect, in an effort to avoid being disingenuously mischaracterized, the name was changed.
I was going to give you a 1/10, but you actually got responses. 2/10.
The term "Global Warming" is just SO last week. Duh - it's called "Climate Change", silly!
the polar regions are still warmer than normal. This is where the majority of global warming is taking place, not in the continental, more populated areas. In 2010, a lot of populated places had their coldest year ever, but it was still the warmest year the earth had ever had and a large part of this is due to the extreme heat in the arctic and antarctic.

ever = 150 years
It's always been called Climate Change.
But they tried to dumb it down because people like you don't know what the word "climate" means.
Buy a dictionary already and stop bothering the internet.
Every night I get global darkening. But then in the morning it's global lightening. What's up with that? I think it's just some elite snob trying to fleece me.
I think the true answer is that Avogadro's number is the number of particles found in one mole of a substance. It is the number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon-12. This experimentally determined value is approximately 6.022 x 10^23 particles per mole.
Hopefully this clears up all of the confusion.

Actually what you experience is not global darkening/lightening but rather local darkening/lightening. This phenomenom is a result of the earths rotation as it orbits the sun. The various surfaces of the earth are exposed to the sun's light in cyclical patterns.
You, my friend, are an idiot.
