Yes, in some places it's getting warmer, in some colder, exactly as the models predict.
WEATHER IS NOT CLIMATE. That's the principle.
You could start by trying to understand the Koch brothers funded study that produced exactly the opposite results that the oil companies hoped. The one that checked the integrity of measuring station data, tried to prove that it was an urban heat iosland effect, and instead proved that it wasn't, that the averaged data was consisitently accurate, and if anything that warming had been understated.
The problem is, if I give you the actual study website, you cant understand it, because it's written in scientific language and protocol. And NEWS is not science.
It was called as I recall the Berkely Earth Surface Tempurature project. Here's the wiki, not that wikis can ever be trusted
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkele...ce_Temperature Just type Berkely Earth Surface Tempurature into google and you can check for yourself - but remember, news is not science, you must NEVER trust any news source to report science accurately.
How can I possibly convey to you how to study climatology as a layman here on GFY. I read voraciously - but what i read are the science journals and websites, they are not the kind of thing that holds your hand and offers you the information predigested.
Pick any one point, and I'll do my best to show you some data sources.
