It`s colder in Atlanta GA than Anchorage Alaska . Also, parts of N MI & upper midwest states are colder than parts of Siberia.

Warming alert, bull manure errr flatulence

Has it been unusually cold in India?

As Randall said, terrible job by the climatologists or should we say "Psuedo-Climatologists".

Earth is a Living Being, and unless Science accepts this, there is no chance of an accurate prediction about Her from any Scientist with belief in his or her PhD.

I speak as a student of the social sciences (I'm not a scientist) and a person in commerce. I only speak for myself.

From my perspective, and mine only, I don't question the presence of climate change. I don't question the melting of the polar ice caps. I don't question the volatility of geographical metrics.

What I do question is the extent to which these changes have been influenced by human activity. The erruptions of Mount Pinatubo itself reeked havoc on the environment far beyond what the next century of automobile/ coal power pollution can produce.

Sure, the industrial revolution has increased environmental pollution, which has greatly accelerated over the past century. However, as with most matters in life, it involves a compromise akin to risk/reward and cost/benefit structure. Humanity has benefitted tremendously over the past two centuries from social progress, which has brought good things and has enriched our lives.

Sure, most of the progress has been achieved in the G7 industrialized nations, but large strides have also been made in the newly developed and developing world, including South Asia, Southeast and East Asia. Granted, Asians are fond of pointing out that Asia produces the least pollution on a per capita basis. However, recognize that curtailing further industrial development in the G7 will also broadly affect progress worldwide.

In India or U.S. ? The U.S. has or had thousands without power in this freezing zone

I believe most were in Indiana but many were without here in MI and are thankfully, restored now.

What has happened in the USA where all 50 states simultaneously recorded sub zero temperatures has nothing to do with Global Warming. This started from the North Pole hence its either related to some activity in the Sun about which our Scientists are clueless or it could be part of a New Ice Age cycle.

This is happening when the astrologically dangerous Pluto-Uranus square aspect is still in action, so the event is related in some way to mass change.

But if it makes you feel any better:

First off—and like it or not—cold weather influences people in general to discount global warming, just as hot weather motivates them to believe in it. Even though they shouldn't be, people are basically weather vanes when it comes to their climate beliefs, at least on a short-term basis.

Such is the upshot of a number of psychological studies on the public and climate change. In one of them, published in the Journal of Politics in 2012, researchers used individual zip codes to examine the relationship between survey responses about climate change and the local weather just before those responses were given. The result was striking: "For each 3.1° Fahrenheit that local temperatures in the past week have risen above normal, Americans become one percentage point more likely to agree that there is 'solid evidence' that the earth is getting warmer," the study found. And vice-versa: Cold weather anomalies were associated with decreased belief in global warming.

So we should expect weather phenomena, and especially very strong periods of heat or cold, to prompt visceral reactions about whether climate change is real or not. But with conservatives, there's an added factor that I think is relevant: Not just their overarching doubts about climate change in general, but also their lack of trust in scientists.

There's a lot of research on this, including documentation of an overall long-term decline in conservative trust in science, and evidence that watching Fox News is a contributing factor. Trust, note the authors of the latter paper, is a "heuristic" device that we use to quickly make up our minds about an issue in the absence of thorough, in-depth consideration. So if you trust scientists, you just go with whatever they say. If you don't, you do the opposite.

Thus, perhaps conservative snow trolling is the combined result of the weather vane behavior of the public in general on this issue, and the fact that conservatives don't see a need to check their snow-related outbursts, both because they're skeptical of global warming anyway and also because they just don't care that scientists will be annoyed. In other words, conservatives are willing to just come out and say what many people are thinking—or rather, feeling—during a cold spell.

And they do so, moreover, at a time when the public in general is quite susceptible to such misinformation. So you have to admit—grudgingly—that it's a good strategy. http://www.motherjones.com/environment/2014/01/why-conservatives-cant-resist-snow-tr olling
