One-off occurrences cannot be used to prove a broader trend.

Furthermore, an increased likelihood of extreme weather events is one of the effects of global warming.

[/thread] and thank you for refuting your own point.

Global warming does not necessarily imply a specific increase or decrease in local temperatures. As Polonium stated, it's an increased likelihood of extremities in the weather on a more regular basis.

Also, cold weather in Melbourne ≠ 'global cooling" LOL

Zero effort posts in rants and debate are not OK. If you are skeptical, start a thread and tell us why, not link to a news article and nothing else.
