But that discussion belongs into this thread:

This thread here is a weather thread, your discussion is a climate discussion.
Even three warm winters in a row still belong to the topic "weather" and not "climate" or "climate change".
I'm not denying climate change, but you can only speak of climate if an average of 20-30 years in a row is calculated and compared with the average of an earlier or later period of 20-30 years. This thread named "remarkable weather events" refers to single observations, and it's always a mistake to derive a climate change trend from them.
That's also the main reason there are so many discussions about it: people always tend to be influenced in their thinking only by what they have experienced recently. So ask people in the eastern US: they will tell you that global warming is ridiculous as they've experienced many cold winters in the past years. People in California have no doubt about climate change as they've experienced drought during the past years. Even people in Europe, where most winters were extremely mild over the last 10 years, said climate was getting colder when ONE SINGLE December in 2010 was extremely snowy and cold. None of these things alone are reliable indications of climate change.
