UPDATE III: So, because it is cold outside, global warming is a hoax.
"As Stephen Colbert wrote, brilliantly mocking this kind of ridiculosity, "Global warming isn't real because I was cold today! Also great news: World hunger is over because I just ate.'
Read Slate, Ted Cruz Goes Full Orwell.
UPDATE II: Read USA Today, Earth had warmest winter on record.

UPDATE: "The climate numbers are in from January and, on a global perspective, it actually wasn’t that cold at all.
In fact, for the 347th month in a row, planet Earth was downright toasty.
Yep, the last month in which Earth’s average temperature was below the 20th-century average was during the Reagan administration. February 1985, to be exact: 'I Want to Know What Love Is' by Foreigner was the No. 1 song in the country. Sally Field had just been nominated for best actress for Places in the Heart. The author of this piece celebrated his fourth birthday party. That’s a long time for a planet to run a fever.
Since that moment 29 years ago, there’s been an unbroken stretch of planetary warmth. Almost as if the entire globe was warming. Hey, maybe we can call it 'global warming'".
Read Slate, Don't Let the Snow Fool You. January Wasn't Cold at All.
In the continental U.S, the "average temperature of the U.S. was just 0.07°F below the 1981-2010 average according to NCDC. . .
[In fact Alaska] had its 3rd-warmest January, with temperatures 14.8°F above average. During a late January warm spell, the daily high reached 62°F in Port Alsworth, tying the highest January temperature recorded in the state."
