Dude ... it has been a warm winter. But many areas DID NOT break records. They were NEAR records. Some places DID break records. Also, the northwest and Alaska just experienced a brutal unusual winter.

Last year, yes just LAST year (amazing how soon we forget) damn near everywhere on the east coast and many midwest states shattered LOW temperatures and SNOW totals.

I personally had up to 3.5 feet of snow in my backyard at one point. And we had over two feet FROM MID FEBRUARY TO MARCH.

It has been MUCH warmer AND cooler on earth well before humans.

If global warming, climate change, republicans burning mother earth ... whatever we are calling it today, results in the winter we just experienced, I am all for it.

Lastly, the earthquake in Japan last year was strong enough to change earth's tilt/rotation. How much? I don't know, but I remember reading about it. I wonder if that quake also changed weather patterns as well? Food for thought.
