Symptoms of global warming have been cast as increased global temperatures as well as global cooling, increased hurricane/typhoon activity and of course, the bout of recent tornadoes. When one side is permitted to define all the variables, there is no chance of losing the debate.
Meanwhile, a group of prominent Russian climatologists, who believe that our climate is cyclical, predict a thirty five year period of fairly severe global cooling will begin in 2012. I am doing my part to help heat the Earth back up. I have saved my single ply windows, my old inefficient HVAC system and old cans of hair spray which heretofore could have brought the world to an early end.
The real problem with global warming is that it takes our eyes off real environmental problems such as groundwater contamination. Vinyl choride in groundwater is a real issue but such problems have been subordinated to the global warming scare.

This conversation could go on until hell freezes over.
