temperature != climate. This is what all of the same people writing articles like this chirp out whenever someone talks about current temperature changes having anything to do with climate change.

Sounds like you're talking about rebuttals to dingbats who say things like, "it was cold today, so global warming is false." That's about local temperatures, which indeed are not relevant (except in aggregate) to climate. Global temperatures absolutely are relevant, though.

How do global temp avgs not have anything to do with climate? I must admit though "Global Warming does not mean Global Warming" is at least a new one I haven't heard before, lol.

The thing is when it gets unusually warm everyone cries climate change and when it gets unusually cold it's completely dismissed. That's what OP is pointing out

So he is pointing out that when global temp avgs bust records everyone talks about global warming.. ok, I will give him that. I am not sure that makes much of a "point" though.

Exactly. These popsci articles aren't really based on any scientific facts.
