Global Warning?

I have no idea what't going on with the weather right now. After having gone to bed early, I woke up around midnight because I hadn't eaten anything of real subtstance since saturday. After an hour or so of random conversation with my roommates, and a failed attempt at stilling my hunger with cookies, I ventured out to the Seven Eleven around the corner. And it was warmer outside than it had been in a long long time - eighteen degrees according to my iGoogle gadget, and I have no problem believing it. It is windy like hell, too.

Legato mentioned global warming when I asked him what the fuck was going on out there. Whether or not that is indeed what's behind this drastic increase in temperature, I can't say I don't welcome it. It's been way too cold around these parts lately. Yet I can't help but wonder - what if this is merely the first sign of weather patterns getting fucked up all over the world in the weeks and months to come?
