armbI haven't actually heard "if we have global warming, why's it so cold?" recently.
But just in case - it's colder than usual here, but warmer than usual in the Arctic:

[EDIT: but there are people using the argument, and misrepresenting climate scientists as backing them up:

"Here's what Martyn Brown says in today's Express:As one of the worst winters in 100 years grips the country, climate experts are still trying to claim the world is growing warmer.
There's a clue as to where he might have gone wrong in that sentence: "country" has a slightly different meaning to "world". Buried at the bottom of the same article is the admission that " ... other areas including Alaska, Canada and the Mediterranean were warmer than usual."
