Empirical evidence be damned, unless it makes their case...and by "their" I mean the alarmists. Remember, the satellite data record is young, and it, too, is subject to scrutiny. Try to ignore the fact that you're freezing to death out there, America.
How the heck does this jibe with the recent Reuter's article?

“It’s all part of a cyclical issue and nothing should be read too deeply into that.
