Excerpt from this related post (see the post for links):
This time, it was the Northern Hemisphere that was unusually cool: recall the recent record snowstorms in China, cold records at places in the U.S., deadly freezing weather in India, and the peaceful snow in Baghdad and elsewhere in the Middle East. The hemispherical temperature anomaly was -0.120 °C, the coldest reading in this column since January 1997, the third coldest reading among the 172 months after September 1993, and a figure cooler than April 1998 by more than 1.2 °C.

One of the things that have been mentioned frequently is one side effect of global warming will be episodes of extremes, hot, cold, drought, rain. Also need to take a refresher course in statistics, single and short term events don't a trend make.
Why, specifically, are "episodes of extremes, hot, cold, drought, rain" symptomatic of global warming, rather than symptomatic of global cooling, or symptomatic of global business-as-usual-for-the-last-4.5-billion -years?
