Is it unseasonably warm where you live right now??

The average temp here for this time of year is somewhere between mid 30's and upper 40's. Don't tell me global warming is a farse!

I must say this absolutely sucks during the Christmas season! It's hard to be in any kind of Christmas mood when it feels like spring time.

Or we can play the same card when it comes to record cold temperatures in the summer time. Does that mean that Global Cooling exists? See circa 70's when the new hotness being reported by the media was global cooling and the pending new ice age, again do to 'human' activities and fossil fuels.

It's the same bullcrap, different reason.

Besides, the coldest months of the year for the Northern Hemisphere are January-March, not November and December. This is when due to the tilt of Earth and that the Northern Hemisphere is 'furthest' from the sun. Autumn which you are still in officially, is the time of wildly changing temperatures. Highs of 70 and then dropping to 10 or 0 in the same day is common in many parts of the nation, especially Colorado. Winter does not begin until December 21st, or the Equinox.. whichever you prefer.

Now one thing I will admit is that Earth is a dynamic ball of rock. If you believe our scientists, for much of it's long life Earth has NOT had polar ice caps. Also Earth does NOT have a perfectly circular orbit (that title belongs to Jupiter) as some years we are closer to the Sun others further. The Sun does not have an stable amount of energy being output, some times it's brighter and warmer, other times cooler. These things fluctuate and change over time, so get rid of any notion you have of 'stability' on a Solar scale. It simply does not exist, and that is the falicy of all these global warming arguments.

I'll believe global warming is mankind caused the second a somebody backing this theory can explain to me how the Ice Caps shrinking on Mars, and the average temperature of Mar's surface have gone up due to human activities. Until then, they earn the Epic Fail award.
