Uh, I'm not sure what all of you guys are laughing about, But I'd like to say this:
Climate Change is caused by increases in greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere, not the sun. In fact the sun has actually been cooler than normal lately.
Increase in tempature means more moisture in the atmosphere from rising oceans. When normal cold tempatures roll around, you get more snow, which freezes the ground. This lowered temp. takes longer to thaw and the snow longer to melt, keeping the area cooler.
Also, it isn't solely Global Warming. The official term is Climate Change.
