Over the past year, anecdotal evidence for a cooling planet has exploded. China has its coldest winter in 100 years. Baghdad sees its first snow in all recorded history. North America has the most snowcover in 50 years, with places like Wisconsin the highest since record-keeping began.

The world is still warming even though it seems to be cooling. This is due to the melting of the ice caps whose waters (former ice) have flowed south. This will cause some TEMPORARY cooling in the mentioned locations until the newly mented water heats up due to global warming.

Did the terrible fogs that England had at one time have any effect on the climate?
And is China's winter so terribly cold because of their smog?

  England's fog would have no effect, as far as I know other than on a localized scale. China's smog....i dunno....maybe
  Pollution, particularly particulates can and likely do cause the climate to be cooler than it otherwise would be.

  The famous pea-soup fog of london and england ( I read ) was mostly smog; industial coal burning. The smog cleared up more or less when it stopped being the only energy source.
  It does get warm wet weather from the gulf stream.

FTA
Record levels of Antarctic sea ice, record cold in Minnesota, Texas, Florida, Mexico, Australia, Iran, Greece, South Africa, Greenland, Argentina, Chile -- the list goes on and on.

And stops right here in Central Europe where - totally unprecedented - a nunber of restaurants and cafes in our pretty conservative small town have OUTSIDE tables because its so absurdly warm..
Shirt-sleeves weather in February? Its without precedent.

The whole idea of climate change-in particular man's role in it-was predicted to have various effects, many places were indeed predicted to cool. I think it's naive to think you can pump chemical compounds into the atmosphere with no effect. That nature will find a way to fix it, (hopefully it will, but to rely on it? I don't think so.) People outside of atmospheric sciences tend to be myopic in their views of this subject. Much of the article's "events" actually support rather than deny the theory. Look at the overall trend...it's a different picture.
