Do you guys really think this is all because of global warming? From my understanding global warming is a gradual thing that is just increasing the temperature per year a few degrees, not causing effects like these. I really think this is mostly just a weird warm winter (talking about the east mind you) that is aided by global warming, but the the primary effect. Just like zsummers said, don't get all worked up that every winter from now on is going to be 70 degrees unless we do something, because I think on an average we are still way below that point. Of course if we don't do something we will be at that point, and continue to pass it.
Unlike the systems the earth has in place to stop the earth from getting too cold, there isn't a system in place to stop the earth from getting too warm
