While you are correctly referring to a valid scientific principle, you should
know better, then, to apply it in this way. Cooler temperatures, by themselves,
don't support AGW. Cooler temperatures that can be traced back to the Gulf
Stream weakening - due to *warmer* temperatures in the far North, causing water
from glaciers to make the Atlantic Ocean less salty, on the other hand, *could*
well be confirming evidence of AGW.

Deliberately omitting important facts when making an argument is an indication
of dishonesty, and oil companies have a sufficiently large financial interest
involved here that it would not be surprising if attempts were being made by
them to introduce misleading arguments into the climate debate.

I'm being charitable in assuming you may just be parroting dishonest arguments
someone else made up, but you appear to be determined to refute that hypothesis.
