I wonder where you found this story. I'm not altogether surprised that you hven't posted a link to your source - you may be a nitwit, but you don't provide links to obvious denialist web-sites, which is where you'd find this kind of nonsense.
This opinion is unlikely to be shared by a court of law, People who get drowned in floods are usually optimists who don't correctly assess the risks associated with ignoring the presence of a lot of fast moving water.

We already know that you are stupid. There's no need to waste bandwidth emphasising the point.

Yep, that is a twilight that I will always remember. Never saw that ending coming....

"Global warming in New England" has a certain ring, not sure what it means though.

North Florida gets winter. On long term average, January temperature in Jacksonville is almost halfway from that of Miami to that of Boston. And it's been that way at least for decades. Occaisionally, North Florida even gets a bit of snow.

Can you cite this?
There are 5 major indices of global temperature, with 4 of those 5 being widely mentioned. I am expecting 1 of these 4 to be just now coming in or about to come in as hottest, barely past 1998. 2 others are in, 2nd to
1998, and only covering 33 years. Another biggie longer-term one is likely to come in 2nd to 1998, likely to be announced in about or a little over a week from now.
As for with 5-year smoothing - we had a peak around 2004-2005. There are good prospects for little or no warming from that one, some fair chance of .05-.1 degree C of cooling from that time all the way to
2030-2035. This is because a significant part of the temperature run-up from 1973 to 2005 is from multidecadal oceanic oscillations that are expected to be on downturn against the warming trend until 2030-2035. In addition, the sun is showing fair sign of entering a "Dalton class" minimum of solar activity.
If CO2 has as much effect as IPCC expects, then the world will continue to warm through the next 25 years of temporary natural cooling factors. If it has 50-60% as much effect on global temperature instead, as I expect, then the world can fail to warm at all until after 2030-2035, or may even cool slightly until 2030-2035, then warm a majority of a degree C from then to 2070 as the natural cycles go back on upswing.
Should 2070 be less than a degree C warmer than we are now, expect much less than another additional degree C of warming from 2070 to 2100, with oceanic multidecadal stuff at least mostly no longer continuing their next upswing. And probably not a whole lot after 2100 due to fossil fuels being mostly already consumed well before 2100.
Let's see if the recent stagnation of global warming continues for a few more years, and then IPCC forecasts will be forced into adjustment to a milder forecast of global warming.
One thing to keep in mind is that less than 2 degrees C of warming from
1961-1990 "baseline" is "largely considered safe" for Greenland's thick ice sheet. For one thing, the Minoan Warm Period (peaking ~1000 years BC) is by most accounts slightly warmer than the 1998-2010 stretch, and there were even warmer times in the previous 2-3 millennia, due to the Milankovitch cycles being more favorable to warmth then than now.

Hell, it has snowed several times in Ocala while I've live here.
You can't fix stupid. You can't even put a band-aid on it, because it's
Teflon coated.
