worker turned IT guy too! Cool.

Look, I apologize for being gruff. Forget the ice age. Go look at http://www.ipcc.ch/">IPCC and find the peer-reviewed research and read that too.

The term "global warming" is a misnomer, though the globe is indeed warming - not cooling. Think of it instead in terms of "climate change". The warming of this planet can indeed cause places that weren't normally so cold to become cooler. In other words, just because your winters have been getting colder doesn't mean the entire planet should also be cooling. In fact, what is happening is that climate zones are shifting. Where once it was hot and dry could become wetter and milder, etc.

Just do your research and it will lead you to the obvious conlusion that weather and climate patterns are changing as a result of anthropomorphic climate change (look up those last three).

And, BTW, welcome to DU and always be prepared to make your case with supporting materials and links.
