RE:BC's record low"If BC is burning up due to global warming, it shouldn't be having record cold winter."
I have asked the same question many times last couple years.
The only answer I get is statistical in nature. Warmest "average" year, etc... they never mention the data set involved, never list the locations of the temperature measurements, never get to see the list of measurement equipment or calibration data. They never show the "outliers", data points excluded for various reasons. It is always some simple one liner answer, "Warmest year on record... blah blah blah...."
Nobody addresses the statisical improbabiity of increasing temperature averages within the same system experiencing record setting low temperatures.
It is obvious what is occuring, the climate is changing as it has for eternity.
No surprise to me at least, governmental funded researchers will massage the data to continue "Average annual" funding :-)
