They're predicted to happen by the "Global Warning Model/Theory".

What you apparently don't realize is that the 'theory' has had to be adjusted so much due to the current 36 year long cooling trend that just about everything is 'predicted.'

The idea that these plentiful cold records are unexpected is the real laugh. The number of new low records each year exceeds the new highs by five or six to one. It's particularly exaggerated in the southern hemisphere, where the growth of ice flows in Antarctica has resulted in massive icebergs that are threatening shipping near New Zealand.

I don't like defending the theory because it's not something I consider proven, but you are misrepresenting it.

You're arguing a straw man off of the reports from news articles where the people writing the news are moronic alarmists who really don't understand what they're saying.

The idea of extreme weather patterns, including extreme and unseasonable cold, has been a part of the theory of global warming since day 1.  The fluidic nature of the atmosphere dictates it.

Good points. But let's face it, there is a lot of political and financial capital already invested in "man made global warming" that its proponents will never admit their wrong and will blame all weather phenomenon on man made green house gas emissions. Its a foolproof scam because the reality is that it will take decades to prove them right or wrong.

Day 2 - Vancouver Blizzard 2006 -

Chilled Vancouver commuters faced their second day of winter hell today, as an additional quarter centimetre of the peculiar white stuff fell, bringing the lower mainland to its knees and causing millions of dollars worth of damage to marijuana crops. Scientists suspect that the substance is some form of frozen water particles and experts from Saskatchewan are being flown in. With temperatures dipping to the almost but not quite near zero mark, Vancouverites were warned to double insulate their lattes before venturing out.

Vancouver police recommended that people stay inside except for emergencies, such as running out of espresso or biscotti to see them through Vancouver's most terrible storm to date. The local Canadian Tire reported that they had completely sold out of fur-lined sandals.

Drivers were cautioned to put their convertible tops up, and several have been shocked to learn that their SUV's actually have four wheel drive, although most have no idea how to use it.

Weary commuters faced soggy sushi and the threat of frozen breast implants. Although Dr. John Blatherwick, of the Coastal Health Authority reassured everyone that most breast implants were perfectly safe to 25 below, down-filled bras are flying off the shelves at Mountain Equipment Co-op.

"The government has to do something," snarled an angry Trevor Warburton. "I didn't pay $CD540,000 for my one bedroom condo so I could sit around and be treated like someone from Toronto."
