Could you maybe stop? It's affecting all of us, too.
My work computer has that thing in the taskbar telling you about news and the weather. I swear it tells me about a record high temperature for this day several times a week.
The climate is really complex, and is the poster child for chaos theory. One of the weird things is that more snow storms and unseasonally cold weather is an expected result of global average temparature rises.
It's one of the reasons it's better to say "climate change" instead of "global warming", to help ease the confusion.
But see, scientists changed the messaging, which means that they don't know what they're talking about! Also, they used to be worried about global cooling! How can you trust someone that keeps changing their story when they get new information?!?

I love the term "scientists", because it's so poorly defined it can mean whoever you want it to mean.
