You're right, the fact that it isn't increasing, and hasn't been for a decade, yet is measured to be cooling on average, that is what means it isn't. And actually, for the "globe" as a whole to increase as opposed to cooling it would mean we've gone nuclear and are now a star. The surface temperature is not the temperature of the globe.

Err, that's not a fact. Here's a hint.... which pole's glaciers and before which corrections are you referring to? You're right, it would be amazing what you learned... if you studied the stuff.
Now, I laughed when you followed up with anecdotes here:

For reference, in northern Nevada we're getting significantly LESS snow than we did in the 1990s... it's ridiculous. The ski season kinda sucks. </div></div>
For real reference, the ski season in northern Nevada has been classified as "kinda sucks" for a good 10,000 years. It will pick up again, and it won't have a damn thing to do with us.
I gurantee you that everyone whose first snows were snowmageddon will in 20 years remember how it just doesn't snow as much as it used to, and find something to blame their faulty recollections on. I had one guy say how where he was from it was too hot to grow and farmers were hurting. The real stats? His area was cooler and had experienced more rain than statistically occurs and had been on that trend for over 3 years.
Anyone up for saying how gov't thermometers don't lie? Go ahead, but I'll leave you red in the face there too.
It's easier to mock people that worship man's power than anti-gunners, flat-earthers, and politicians combined. Please, pull out more bogus claims, please.

I won't even bother trying to convince you of anything. Believe what you want to believe, doesn't matter to me.
Edit: if you took the time to learn anything about northern nevada before spouting off you'd realize that Reno has a ski resort 25 minutes away called Mt Rose which has the highest base elevation of any resort in Lake Tahoe, in addition the Ruby Mountains have many peaks over 13,000' with a heli-ski operation in Elko, Nv. So get your facts straight before bothering with a reply.
