I would like to point out that this summer is probably one of the coldest in a while. My flowers that are usually in full bloom from the hot summer, have yet to bloom.

My friend in Finland said the summer there is one of the coldest in the last 50 years.

Yes, the earth’s temperature has only risen something like 1C on average. All these anecdotal stories about the weather don’t help. Deniers who are experiencing cooler weather can simply point to that.

And in the Ice Age the earth's temperature was only 4C below the average.

1C in the global Earth temperatue is a lot of energy

I would like point out quite opposite. Here in iran the summer has been so far one of the warmest summers anyone ever remembers. Last year was too. This year is so far hotter than last year.

I do live in very cold area in Iran. It is unbelievable how much weather has became warmer. Even i do remember when i was child , weather was noticeably colder. ( and I am in my 20's) . Let alone old peoples, who are literally ( all of them) in shock about how warm the weather became in last 5/10 years.

And here in France the weather is kinda cold for the summer.

Maybe just stop using local climate tout justify global warming?

Did you read my comment clearly? Because if you did, you would understood I wasn't touting anything!

Here in Northern Virginia, near the DC area, it was so hot that winter never came. Grass, bushes and trees were still green during winter. It didn't snow this year. And it's been incredibly hot through spring and summer. Temperatures have been consistently rising each month for many years.
