im thinking part of the issue is you southern ppl not getting us northerners' 
humor.....you kind of have to keep in mind some of us go through a quite 
long, quite cold winter.....add that to first and last frost dates that can 
shift nearly 6 weeks from one year to the next and.....well.....the term 
"global warming" has been used as a punch line to a joke ever seance the term 
came around up here.....most individuals know global warming really has 
nothing to do with it, its normal variations in our weather patterns.....but 
when we get a hard frost the end of May or the first killing frost hits us in 
September instead of the middle of October your going to hear us, mostly 
jokingly, wonder where in the heck the global warming is they have been 
promising us :D 

right now im dieing working outside in the 85-90 degrees it was last weekend 
cause less than a month ago the daily high was usually around 25 and i was 
running around in a t-shirt in that.....i cant quit sweating.....

its a punch line for a rather dry joke and nothing else is implied with it....
