To all of the posters claiming that this news article does not do anything to disprove global warming, you do realize that if this thread had been reporting unusually warm weather in Brazil, the first 20 posts by the same people would be using the story as a bludgeon to hammer people over the head about the seriousness of "climate change". Double standards are not scientific, a scientist needs to be equally thrilled at evidence that casts doubt on their theories as evidence that supports their theories. When we downplay or ignore contrary evidence and only promote the information that we want to believe is right, then we start to step into the world of cult-like thinking. This attitude was how the world got atrocities like the Chernobyl meltdown, where socialist governments convinced people that they can do no wrong and that caution was unnecessary.
Now, if we expand the behavior that we are seeing within this thread to society at large. For example, if society only considers the evidence and news stories that we want to be true and we downplay and disregard anything that potentially goes against our beliefs, you can see how it becomes possible for a vast majority of people to arrive at gravely incorrect conclusions. Keep in mind that we have had religious cults in past centuries where vast majorities of people were convinced that the world was about to end and they took drastic and extreme action on the basis of this belief.
It is important that we always keep an open mind to the possibility that our beliefs are incorrect. Even if everybody around you in society and in the media is telling you something, does not necessarily mean that it is true.
