Yes, but global warming can cause regional cooling. So even if it's cooler, it's warmer. Even if things are colder for you, that's just a byproduct of global warming at the regional level.
No, a raise in the planetary mean temperature is used as proof of global warming.
Higher temperatures anywhere are proof of global warming. Lower temperatures anywhere are proof of global warming. Floods are proof of global warming, but so are droughts. More intense and milder seasons are both proof of global warming
Yep, as long as they appear to derive from effects of things like increases in ocean temperature modifying global weather patterns (ex. Gulf Stream).
ditto on levenger. They are pricey but worth it. I hardly ever get to use my "bean" anymore because my wife keeps stealing it. hmm... that sounds odd.
So is it your policy to _not_ buy products you see other people enjoying?
