"Brrr! China's coldest winter in decades at new low"
The story indicates a link between current extreme temperatures and global warming.
In China, temperatures 43 years ago were just as cold as they are now.
So, was it global warming related back then?...
The Associated Press reports it in what I think is a questionable manner:
"China Meteorological Administration on Friday said the national average was -3.8 degrees Celsius (25 degrees Fahrenheit) since late November, the coldest in nearly three decades. The average temperature in northeast China dipped to -15.3 degrees C (4.5 degrees F), the coldest in 43 years, and dropped to a 42-year low of -7.4 degrees C (18.7 degrees F) in northern China..." "...The national meteorological administration said China is seeing dropping temperatures partly because of south-moving polar cold fronts, caused by melting polar ice from global warming."
