"Empirical experience beats theory any day."

If your empirical data is collected on a global scale and for long enough period of time, yes it does. Otherwise your merely giving local, current observations. Saying that because it's cold outside in January means there is no global warming is like walking outside at night and claiming that there is no sun because you can't see it.

"it is hard to sell to say, the Brits right about now"

Probably wasn't that hard last summer. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2010/dec/14/hottest-year-environment-review-vidal?INTCMP=SRCH

"Two record cold winter's in a row."

Yep, with a record high summer in between. Doesn't that sound like the weather pattern is changing?

"Let's not confuse the issue."

My issue is that the only reason the topic is ever put on this forum is to politicize it. Do you think the 191 countries that have ratified the Kyoto Protocol give a rats a** who Al Gore is?
