This past winter was extreme because of nice weather, so it follows that the previous winter must have been mild because of very cold weather.

====================
You guys need to follow the links to the PDF which has the actual survey….
You can only get the “many” by including the people that voted “somewhat agree”….
Since good weather is bad, the only way for weather to improve is to have bad weather. Typical Orwellian doublespeak.
Funny, when it is horrible here (eastern US) we are informed that our little corner does not represent the whole globe.
But when it is less horrible, that somehow proves that the whole world is burning up even as many places were buried in snow or locked in place by ice.
Its all kind of unreal and inconsistent.

This is just social science doing its thing. You want to ‘prove’ something? Get a social scientist to ask a few vague questions of a small number of dimwits and the gullible. Produce paper with lots of nice percentages in it that can be added up in various ways. Job done.
I only put the quote above to make sure the guilty are named.
Tom Brokaw: “About 10 percent of the Earth’s surface is covered by ice, most of that in the polar regions. But if enough of that ice melts, the seas will rise dramatically and the results will be calamitous….If this worst-case scenario should occur, in the coming centuries New York could be abandoned, its famous landmarks lost to the sea.”
Dr. James Hansen, Goddard Institute for Space Studies: “Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Miami — they would all be under water.”
— From Brokaw’s two-hour Discovery Channel special, Global Warming: What You Need to Know, excerpt shown on the July 15, 2006 NBC Nightly News.
