[A thread in the Last Days Events sub-forum. Members are discussing how the Fall foliage is coming in too early. Some members are predicting an early/long Winter]
Short term observations cannot not be applied to long term situations. Just because some summers appeared to have record heat does not mean we have global warming. It's good to see some short term conditions that fly in the face of global warming lies.

I'm desperate for something real that appears to support my mythology.
Meh, nothing special here, I see lots of people make this kind of contradiction. They'll whine that several decades isn't enough to determine a long term trend then rejoice whenever one year was slightly colder than the last. It's textbook cognitive dissonance as far as I'm concerned.
Hang on. The Norse believed that just before the end of the world there would be three bitterly cold winters with no interceding summer. According to RR the Earth's getting colder...
OMG IT'S RAGNAROK!!! EVERYBODY PANIC!!!

So all the "evidence" you people see that makes you think "ZOMG teh rapturez is coming!!1!" can't actually be applied to your rapture, since magically sucking up a few thousand peole would be a "long term situation"? =3
Observations since records were kept (in my country 1644) show a rapidly accelerating upward trend since WW1.
Ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica going back 12,000 years (sorry, 6000 BC - before creation) at least, show the same.
If "short term" is 364 years, how do you define "long term"?
Except "global warming" is not the correct term for our climate change, as it gives the impression that local seasons will be hotter. In reality, the rising temperature of Earth is melting the polar ice caps. The ice, which is fresh water, is affecting the salinity of the oceans, as well as raising the water levels. That is affecting ocean currents, which are one contributing factor to our weather (others being things like sun storms, wind patterns, etc.). So it's not as simple as saying "global warming means hotter summers."

Yeah! You are so right! Just like how one early autumn does not break an overall warming trend established over the last few decades!
Uh, wait a minute
It's global climate change, stupid, not global warming.
Summers seem to be more wet now, than when I was a child 30-40 years ago.
The two last winters have been longer and colder than most other winters that I remember. Fimbul-winter perhaps?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
