Answer 1

When the doomsayers called it 'global warming', the masses threw their money.  When the doomsayers saw that global warming wasn't happening, they changed the name to 'climate change'.  The masses threw more money.  They had won with the old trick of subtly changing the name from 'warming' to 'change'.  Because nobody noticed.  

'Global warming' meant an increase in temperature, and that wasn't happening.  But 'climate change' is all-encompassing, and the masses with throw their money regardless what happens.  Too hot or too cold, too many hurricanes or very few hurricanes, floods or drought, no snow or record snowfall...'climate change' applies to any situation.  And best of all...it's all the fault of mankind.  So the masses continue to throw their money.  The masses are being badly misled.

If you subscribe to the rediculous 'junk science' of these conmen and blindly follow them even when they change their tune in midstream, then yes the snow levels of this year are caused by whatever it is they want you to believe in.  Global warming, climate change, or whatever they'll call it next.

Those who choose to open their eyes on the topic know that the record snowfall is due to weather, and nothing more.  The fact that some places are where all the snow clouds are this year...bad luck...whatever.  Nobody can show you where global warming is happening on this earth, with proof. Because it doesn't exist.  The bright side is that you can go out and build more snowmen!

Answer 2

In the Sierras over the past 30 years precipitation is up but less falls as snow, due to a shorter season of below-freezing days.

In areas with a longer below-freezing Winter season, increased precipitation could increase snow accumulation.  

What some people fail to recognize is that increased snow doesn't necessarily mean that the climate in that location has gotten colder, it just means that more precipitation fell during that winter (which would still fall as snow even if temps were slightly warmer).  

Regional cold weather also would not prove anything about global climate trends, so it's pretty pointless to discuss in this section.

Answer 3

Liberals do.

Now before you liberals get all upset ask yourself 2 questions,

1. Do I believe in global warming?

2. Will I vote for Hilly or Obama?

If your answers are yes, yes, you are a liberal.

Answer 4

Possibly, but it's impossible to attribute any single weather event to global warming.

However, it's true that in some locations increased snowfall is an expected result of global warming, as I discuss here:

Answer 5

Global and regional temperature and precipitation cycles occur.

There are both long term ice ages like the one that occurred over thousands of years and ones like the little ice ages 1650  1770 and 1850 that lasted a few years each causing  cold temperatures in North America and Europe

Beyond the cold temperature that China is currently experiencing, could it be that particulate pollution from India or China itself is seeding clouds to produce more snow precipitation over China  ?

That  smog tinge seen in Southern California sky is in significant part due to the unchecked particulate pollution created in China that drifts over the Pacific.

Answer 6

No.

Answer 7

I can't say much as far a global trends but locally where I live, our last cold winter was in the mid '90's. Since then we only get cold weather for maybe 2 weeks at a time and get a lot less snow. Back then it was not uncommon to get at least a foot of snow during the winter and it stayed around until March.
