Also, I've repeatedly stated that no short-term weather event can be conclusively linked to any long-term climate trend. Even the most ardent global warming researchers stress that no single event or single season of weather can be attributed to global warming with any certainty.

But the issue has been raised much more widely than by merely one anonymous caller. Is this mild winter the face of global warming in our ...
