That is wonderful that Artic Ice is "normal". With all do respect: from a layperson's point of view, I find this information a bit...questionable. But, I am glad to hear it's "NORMAL" somewere. It has been 75 to 80 degrees and bone dry in the midwest for months. This IS the very definition of "Global Warming". Color me a tad sceptical.
And Europe has been gripped in record breaking cold. You are ceertainly correct to be sceptical, but please look at the whole planet, not just your little corner of it.
