Anthropogenic Global Warming

I do belive in global warming because of the simple fact that sweden is getting warmer for each year

To all who have said something like this for anywhere (ie it is hot, raining more, flooding, etc), you realize that this is not evidence of global warming, don't you? Even temperatures increasing are not evidence of global warming, especially human-caused global warming.

Here is a chart ( http://www.usatoday.com/weather/wcstates.htm ) showing record low temperatures. Some are from the 1800s and some from the 1990s. In other words, every short-term variation does not equal long-term trend, something which is true for temperature, precipitation, extreme weather events like hurricanes, etc. Ask hurricane experts and they will tell you that hurricane variances are caused by ocean current patterns, for example.

Bottom line, do not try to tell us that because last year it was hot means global warming is absolutely, positively true because that is rather stupid.
