Hell freezing over

I looked and beheld a pale horse and his name that sat on him was cold and snow followed with him.

That's like being on the tail of the Titanic as it's sinking saying "If we're sinking, why am I 300 feet in the air?"
Weather an climate are two different things, though weather is linked to climate. The extremes we're seeing is a result of climate change. Whether you accept that or not is of no real concern to the fact.

The weather and climate were invented in England in 1034 by a Swine herd called Erwin the Fat.

Whoaaaa!!!!

You've made a total non-sequitur.  He did not deny climate change, only pointed out the idiocy of Al Gore and his grossly exaggerated predictions.  Al also stated that Kilimanjaro would be snow free by 2016, and Polar Bears would be virtually extinct, while those things might come to pass someday, the REAL scientists acknowledge that that day is still at least 50-100+ years away, and that there is not anything humankind can do to appreciably effect it.

Climate change is real (change is the only constant over the earths 4+ billion year history), and Al Gore is a blithering idiot/con man... the two are not mutually exclusive.

Florida has a wind chill advisory because the wind chill might drop below +35 degrees F

We have a wind chill advisory because the wind chill might drop to -15 degrees F

Bahhh...  It's all relative.   My rule at work is that I don't put on the insulated Carhartt bibs to work outside till it's colder then -25°F.  It's been a rather mild winter so far, only gotten them out for a couple days.

Anyone trying to use a short period of cold weather as an argument in the climate change debate only proves that he have no idea what he is talking about.

I know... Its funny how many people there are that thinks that they can deny the laws of thermodynamics, I wonder if they think that if they dont believe in gravity they will not fall of the roof..

Last time I saw it snow in Florida was Christmas Eve and Christmas day 1989...

It was my oldest daughter's first Christmas, she was just over 10 months old....

Florida shutdown all the major highways I-95, I-295, I-10, US 1, etc.... one of the funniest things I've seen, nobody knew how to drive and they all seemed scared to death out on the roads that Christmas Eve doing their last minute shopping....

It didn't hardly even snow much....enough to cover the ground, but most were lucky if they even got 2 inches of snow

All of it is important; most of it vital; and all of it just too much for one brain to absorb in 1-2 lessons" TC

Here in the South if the word "snow" is even mentioned in a weather report, all bread, water and alcohol disappear in 20 minutes, schools shut down and insanity reigns. Then if it does really now...it seems that every person who DOESN'T know how to drive in it comes out.
I do have a question....in all of those places that have lot of snow, and everyone says that they know how to drive in it...EVERY year, when it happens, you see hundreds of accidents from people who should have had the sense to stay the hell out of it. Why?
