All the news reports of snow fall you are referring to are reports on WEATHER not CLIMATE. Below are links to news articles that are reporting on relocated food crops due to a WARMING CLIMATE. If the climate was cooling, these news reports would reflect crops being moved SOUTH you idiot! NEPAL Climate change causing food shortages in Nepal Last Updated: Friday, August 28, 2009 | 2:34 PM ET http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/08/28/nepal-food-climate.html KOREA Warmer climate moves tropical fruit cultivation northward http://joongangdaily.joins.com/article/view.asp?aid=2907946 USA US: Warming climate jeopardizes California Fruit and Nut Crops http://www.freshplaza.com/news_detail.asp?id=48109 UK Temperatures give exotics a warm welcome Kiwifruit, peaches, grapes and nectarines could soon be grown in the Garden of England due to climate change, according to a new report. Growers in Kent will be able to cultivate crops that normally flourish in the heat of southern Europe, South America and Africa, it suggests. The reason lies in the decline of the winter chill, meaning prolonged periods when the temperature stays above freezing but below 7C, essential for the successful growing and harvesting of many perennial fruits such as apples, pears, blackcurrants and hops. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/food/news/article.cfm?c_id=206&objectid=10624716

You might do better for the denialists if you were to keep repeating a mantra that 2009 was cooler than 2005. Some brain-dead someone, somewhere, would believe that to mean the warming is over. You might even convince yourself.

The recent warming is a blip in this descent.

Then when the world is warmer we'll need less fossil fuel to heat our homes in winter, the algae will keep up.
