For what its worth, the fact that it has been 60+ degrees in Chicago this week, as well as being warm all across the country, is not evidence of global warming.

Just as the fact that it was 5 degrees last week in Chicago is not evidence against global warming.

I wish people would stop pretending it is so. Everyone from popular progressive bloggers to one of building maintenance workers have used one of the above arguments in the last week. And neither argument is valid.

Now... the fact that we are seeing quickly changing weather patterns in the extremes? That is a better piece of evidence for what is called global warming.
