Extensive and unusual cold snaps have occurred here recently. Is this evidence that global warming is lessening or not occurring? No-although the long-term trend is for warming, short-term weather patterns can still be variable. No-melting of glaciers and ice caps is making the oceans cooler, which can cause cold snaps.
