Comparing global cooling and warming

Global Cooling 2007
Whenever I mention the great global cooling event that has taken place in recent months, people either insist, very dogmatically it turns out, that, no, we have just global warming, or they will insist that hurricanes sucked the heat out of the oceans. Therefore, to document this global cooling event I have composed the following composite image.
The image begins in November of 2006 at the end of the hurricane season. As you can see by the yellows and orange and red colors the oceans remained warmer than normal at the end of the hurricane season. This remained pretty much the case in December of 2006 and January of 2007 It was in late spring that a major global cooling event took place, with a dramatic plunge in ocean temperatures taking place in March and April, as you can see from both the disappearing reds and oranges and also from the deep blues. As you know from about May onwards there have been dramatic weather patterns exhibited, which people insist are caused by global warming, when in actual fact it is all linked to a global cooling event which occurred world wide and was not linked to hurricanes, since this took place outside the hurricane season, and the hurricanes, while they do remove heat from the oceans, do not remove that much heat on a world wide scale as you can tell by studying the above images. The cooling also took place in oceans which do not get hurricanes, such as the North Pacific, the South Atlantic, and the SouthEast Pacific..
During the mid 1990s human civilization as a whole used energy at a rate of only 20 percent of the power of a single hurricane. A fully developed hurricane releases less than 10 percent of its heat energy into mechanical motion (the wind) and the energy released in this form is the equivalent to a 10 megaton nuclear explosion taking place every 20 minutes. A powerful catagory 5 storm releases as much energy as a hydrogen bomb exploding every 8 minutes.
It is for reasons such as this that 'global cooling' could be considered a source of much worse weather than is the case with 'global warming'. The image above shows the state of ocean heating at the end of the hurricane season in 2006 and is contrasted with the image of ocean heating for July 2007. Below this are images of the large scale global cooling event that took place this spring, and which was at its deepest stages in March and April of 2007.
Severe weather began to manifest all over the glove beginning in about May with no end in sight, and when you consider the amount of energy released by a global cooling event it really does dwarf any considerations about 'global warming' being a problem for anyone this year. I have no idea just how many hydrogen bombs would have to be exploded on the earth to equal the amount of energy involved in such a large scale global cooling event. It is obvious upon consideration of what has happened that no one need to be concerned about 'global warming' this year, since this year the big worry is 'global cooling', and it is also obviously false to speak of this years very bad weather in the same sentence with the term 'global warming' when it is pretty obvious where all that extra energy came from that is feuling the world's violent weather. It would be correct this year to refer to 'global cooling' for even one of these global events has an impact much more severe than that of 'global warming'.

You cant deduce anything from comparing two years data

This post is utter garbage. Climate change concerns long-term trends. Of course there are year-to-year fluctuations in local, regional and global temperatures.
Just like one cant say whether a single even is caused by global warming, you cant deduce anything by comparing two years of ocean temperature data.

cooling adds to climate chaos

Recent events add to stress: perhaps it's time to begin a list of "positive" effects from the current floods, such as?
Two scenarios envisaged: climate change disasters such as these floods will continue striking the country every month, for several months running. Second: they will continue striking the country with intervals where nothing seems to be happening.
The First scenario would mean perhaps a system bankruptcy.
Now for the positive outlook, since we have to brace ourselves.
1) They will force the current Administration to review their priority policies.
2) Eventually they will force the current Administration out of power. Green parties could have a stronger chance.
3) Troops in Afghanistan and Iraq could be promptly ordered back home to help here rather than there: opium trade is reported to be flourishing as never before, well done perhaps, but rescue services might need to be quickly reinforced by troops. There is already public outcry about this.
4) Public spending, buying and consuming would drop. Consumerism may be coming to an end. You don't feel like buying a new sofa (or a new car) when your house may be flooded next.
5) Sure there will be more points.
So let's keep the flame of hope.

Well, yeah. The more energy trapped in the atmosphere by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, the more wild and unpredictable the weather. That's why it's been more accurately referred to as climate change for at least a decade now.
And like the previous poster says, two years doesn't make a trend. The variability of the climate increases alongside the global average temperature.
Take rain for an example. Air that holds more moisture has more to dump at once as rain, making heavier falls which are more liable to cause floods.
