You are probably right. Thanks to the warmer temperatures melting permafrost and other freshwater resources around the world, the salt content and temperature of the oceans is being altered, possibly causing the ocean currents to slow down. Those currents (such as the Gulf stream) are responsible for bringing mild temperatures to Sweden and distributing other climate patterns around the globe. But it seems the weather has become much less stable, much less predictable, throughout much of the world these days.
So 84 years ago there was another global warming?
Because then there was another cold day in June.
And last week, was it another cold age? I was wearing shorts in Sthlm.
You dont prove global warming because one day is cold. You use averages over periods lasting 10 to 30 years to prove it. One day/week/month/year is statistical noise.
You can't prove that global warming is happening or not by taking a temperature on a particular day on a particular place on earth.
There is overwhelming evidence global warming is happening and even that it is our fault. Serious scientists who are not on te payroll of exxon know this. The only reason there is doubt is economic.
the earth is far too big and billions of years ago began this cycle that even the very best scientists will never predict

Recently unearthed photographs taken by Danish explorers in the 1930s show glaciers in Greenland retreating faster than they are today, according to researchers.
