JC, I will put this in the most simple, primitive form possible for you.
-Humans burn fuels that release carbon, carbon then bonds to oxygen in our atmosphere creating carbon dioxide-AKA "pollution"
-The sun release electro magnetic radiation, or light. This light heads towards the earth in multiple forms. We have visible light, radio-waves, ultraviolet, and more.
-Light passes through our atmosphere and is absorbed by the earth, the bi-product of this absorbed light is heat.
-As heat is then released from the earth it passes through our atmosphere, and out into space, however, carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases prevent all of the heat from escaping.
-The heat that does not escape is reflected back down to the earth creating the warming effect.
TL;DR:
Did you hear about the rapture?
According to that everywhere should be getting hotter. But here in Australia, as AD said we didn't really have a 40 degree Celsius day during summer. And they were saying that "THIS WILL BE THE HOTTEST WINTER EVAR!!1!" but its actually a fairly cold winter as well. I'm not sure if other places are getting colder/hotter but i certainly know its getting colder here.

Can't give a link to the source since I saw it in some documentary few days ago.
lol, you're thinking of solar minimum and solar maximum, the points when the sun is least active and when it's most active. also considering the earth rotates around the sun in an elliptical orbit every so many years the earth and the sun get closer and further apart from each other.
you can tell when we are in a solar maximum by the amount of solar flares and sunspots. the sun also goes through seasons apart from this.
humans still create global warming, it's just not as drastic (yet) as al gore makes it out to be lol
You don't say?

Short term, regional weather shifts are not the same as
GLOBAL SCALE LONG TERM GLOBAL WARMING.
How does Australia having one cold summer completely discredit ALL of the evidence that PROVES the earth is HOTTER than EVER BEFORE?
