Assuming you are not trolling...

There is no event which would disprove global warming nor is there any event which would prove global warming. Global warming is global, so individual weather events are statistically insignificant.

Both the observations you mention are symptoms of weather instability. It is not inconsistent to say that some areas will receive more snow/rain and others will receive less and that these areas may be the same in different years or even months.

As for the likes of Al Gore, I must ask - Why you are taking him to be an oracle of science? I'm sure you are an intelligent person and if you wish to have an intelligent opinion then you should be relying on reliable sources, not on a politician-cum-climatologist.

An Early Look At Civilization V 286

Posted by Soulskill from the new-and-shiny dept.
c0mpliant writes "IGN and Gamespot have each released a preview of the recently announced and eagerly awaited Civilization V. Apart from the obvious new hexagon shape of tiles and improved graphics, the articles go on to outline some of the major changes in the game, such as updated AI, new 'flavors' to world leaders, and a potentially game-changing, one-unit-per-tile system. No more will the stack of doom come to your city's doorsteps. Some features which will not be returning are religion and espionage. The removal of these two have sparked a frenzy of discussion on fan-related forums."
