Everyone who's concerned about global warming or cooling should
move to where I live :-) It's 3 am here now and the thermometer
on the porch of my unheated house reads 57 deg F. The lowest I
measured last winter was 54 in January. And I think we stayed
well below 90 last summer.
Mumbai?

Just about very winter I hear about some place getting record cold or
record snow - ever since I first paid much attention to this starting in
the winter of 1976-1977.
Lately it appears to be places near the North Atlantic getting hard-hit,
maybe starting with a major USA Northeast Corridor snowstorm that broke
Boston's single-storm snowfall record. When progression of the Pacific
Decadal Oscillation forces temperature patterns in the North Pacific to
change, watch it become someone else's turn to get spectacular newsworthy
winter weather.
And regardless of PDO, AMO and El Ninos and La Ninas, merely random
factors can bring 1% of the portion of the world that gets snow (even
if only once a century) their worst snowstorm in a century. Same for cold
snaps.

The hottest I've ever endured was about 115 in South India. Where
I live (Aizawl, Mizoram), the highest I ever personally measured
was about 95 deg F some 20 years ago. And there's almost always a
cool breeze in summer. It's 11:30 am now and the thermometer
reads 68.5 F.

Looks like every winter now I see posts here saying how here and there
have their worst snow or cold in a decade or a centory or on record or
whatever.
Latest monthly determination of lower tropospheric temperature by UAH is
in, December 2009: .28 degree C warmer than the 1979-1998 baseline.

This has a graph of this global temperature index from its start at
the beginning of 1979 to now. This is the least-warming of the 5 major
indices of global temperature trends.
The UAH lower troposphere temperature index, v. 5.2, in text file format

People don't notice 0.28 C average temperature rise. They do notice
feet of snow on their roads and people dying from the cold.
Between Climategate, the ludicrous conference in Copenhagen, and the
recent, killing cold around much of the world, I suspect the AGW panic
is on the decline.

Maybe all that anti-carbon stuff has worked already! ;-)
We've taken out TOO MUCH CO2, and we're all freezing as a result.
Better
stop the anti-CO2 nitwits, and PRODUCE MORE!!!!! ;-P
Cheers!
