True, for any given day temperatures can range greatly. Of course it's also true that average daily temperatures indicate a gradual warming trend over the last half century. Some of that is certainly caused by greenhouse gas emissions. But when I hear people attribute significant weather events to what is undeniably a very slight statistical; change, I have to chuckle. A real hoot is the new garden zone map that some pinhead in the US released last year. I lost half a dozen rhodies last winter due to subzero temperatures. If I were to believe the garden zone map, I should be able to grow Camelias. HAR! So far the most significant change effected by global warming has been on the size of Al Gore's bank account :-).
