I think part of the reason is that because people say "hey, the winters are still freezing and getting even worse from year to year". Their perception is that they see nothing abnormal. To which I respond with, the label of "global warming" (changed to 'global climate change') is highly misleading. A better title would be global climate disruption.
I am under the impression that, under some predictive models, more severe winters are a symptom of overall global warming. Has anyone else heard that?
