Short-term temperatures fluctuations like this have very little to do with global warming, as any reasonably honest person realizes.
It's amazing how poor the quality of denier questions has been recently. This question was completely off the topic.
EDIT: No, this "question" is still irrelevant after your additional details. There is no single "correct" answer for global mean temperature unless you define it more precisely. Nevertheless people have come up with various useful measures of global temperature that give us an idea what's going on, and they all tell us roughly the same thing--temperatures have been rising.
I notice in another question you have a problem, also, with the concept of anomaly. It seems that your "arguments" are more semantic than scientific--you don't like the way atmospheric scientists talk about things, but whatever words they use doesn't change the scientific reality.
That sounds like Missouri it could be 99 degrees at noon and a cold front knocks down to the 50s with supercells and maybe a tornado in one day .
It's ironic that you are not to blame for your stupidity but evolution is (in which you do not believe).
Many of the climate scientists are bending the truth to receive grant money and supporters. They know they're wrong. Global temperature fluctuates naturally, and has a high spike during solar activities. The scientists changed the name global warming was changed to climate change when the earth did not heat up to their predictions. Additional detail: the ice caps are not only intact, but thickening, while global temperatures are normal.
Perhaps chinooks are caused by global warming. Clearly anything that is bad is the cause of global warming.

Global warming is climate. "It's cold today", or "Temperatures changed very rapidly in this specific local area", is weather. Learn the difference...
There's a lovely analogy here: http://www.climatecentral.org/blogs/scie... about a man walking a dog on a long leash.
Why would anyone blame people for things caused by nature? It sounds like you are the one with the problem, not scientists.
Besides, all they had to do was ask Rocky Raccoon.
No. Climate science blames humans for the statistically significant rise in global temperatures over the past century. Analysis of surface temperatures, water temperatures, glacial melt rates, sea level rise, and arctic ice thinning has failed to explain the observations without including additional energy trapped by our billions of tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere.
CO2 is a greenhouse gas. We're pumping it at the rate of almost 1000 tonnes per second into the atmosphere. The scientists are telling us that pumping a gas into the atmosphere we know traps heat is, rather un-amazingly, trapping heat.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature... - " ... Absolute temperatures for the Earth's average surface temperature have been derived, with a best estimate of roughly 14 °C (57.2 °F).[11] However, the correct temperature could easily be anywhere between 13.3 and 14.4°C (56 and 58 °F) and uncertainty increases at smaller (non-global) scales. ...

" ... At about 7:30am MST, the temperature in Spearfish was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The chinook kicked in, and two minutes later the temperature was 45 degrees above zero. The 49 degree rise in two minutes set a world record that is still on the books. By 9:00am, the temperature had risen to 54 degrees. Suddenly, the chinook died down and the temperature tumbled back to -4 degrees. The 58 degree drop took only 27 minutes.
The chinook was also doing strange things to the Rapid City temperature that same day. Around 10:30am, the thermometer recorded a temperature jump from 20 degrees to 56 degrees in 5 minutes, a 36 degree rise. Around noon, the temperature plummeted 47 degrees in 5 minutes from 60 to 13 above zero. About a half hour later, a 35 degree rise took place when the reading went from 15 to 50 degrees, and another precipitous drop transpired about 2:20pm when the temperature fell 41 degrees from 58 to 17 above. ...
Predicting the exact time and extent of a chinook event is next to impossible during a Black Hills winter. While meteorologists may strongly suspect that chinook conditions will take place, pinpointing which portion of the forecast area will experience the event and how much the temperature will rise in a certain time frame is as much a matter of educated guesswork as anything else. ... "
I'd say that this perfectly describes why climate science has no idea what makes the climate change.
Still confused about local weather and global long term climate?
Funny like a village idiot
Does your question make sense?
Simple answer; the fluctuations are natural, it is the underlying trend that is down to humanity.
