Global warming and snow storms....

When I was in  the UK this Christmas and smack in the middle of the fantastic snowy weather there was a fair amount of conversation about how a snow storm was disproving 'Global Warming'. The main thing that struck me about this conversation, was the complete lack of understanding of the issue. I thought we had somehow managed to move away from Global Warming and into Climate Change. Freak snow storms are very much an indicator that the climate is changing, but so many people misunderstand the issues and think that snow must mean we aren't warming at all.

Today I came across this video from MSNBC in the states discussing this whole issue. It's simple, clear and effective. If you know any sceptics out there, point them in the direction of this....
