We're having a bloody cold winter, you may have noticed, and every so often (or "rather too often," depending) you hear someone banging on about how that proves there is no global warming BECAUSE IT'S COLD NOW.

THOUSANDS of Victorians [that's in Australia, yo] were still without power today as the state's unprecedented heatwave dragged on with little relief in sight...
Victorian Premier John Brumby defended the state's power systems, saying the blackout was the result of catastrophic events during a record heatwave, the likes of which only occurred every 100 or 200 years.
“These are unprecedented conditions, it's the hottest week since records began,” Mr Brumby said in the bushfire-affected Latrobe Valley.
And more here.
Global warming means extreme climate conditions.
Just sayin'.
ETA: On reflection, I'm closing comments on this, because I am not especially interested in providing a forum for wank.
