If it is possible for one winter to be extremely harsh and the following to be relatively tranquil why does the original poster believe that it is beyond the realm of natural variability for the climate to vary ever so slightly over time on a planet that is over 4 billion years old? I seriously question the mental health of people who've allowed the media and politicians manipulate their emotions so that they are willing to part with their hard earned income out of fear that they must in order to correct what they are powerless to change. To the OP, please give every penny you have to your stupid cause but don't go anywhere near my hard earned income. You're mentally ill.
