What world warming?
Thw weather man has stated over and over again that we are now experiencing a world warming. The world is getting warmer beause of the persistent and excessive burning of fossil fuels.
However, I am sure you guys will know by now. The weather during the past few days is anything but warm.
So how can there be world warming. What world warming?

Good question! Tell that to those people in Erie, PA or Buffalo, NY. Like Trump says, "We could use a little bit of the Global Warming right now."
But, in truth, The mental misfits that support all this 'Global Warming' must keep up this facade because it is agenda driven. Not scientifically driven. Not consistently factually driven. Not to mankind in general's benefit driven.
Quotes by H.L. Mencken, famous columnist: "The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed — and hence clamorous to be led to safety — by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." And, "The urge to save humanity is almost always only a false face for the urge to rule it."
And to prove this out there are people like Sky saying in essence, "Don't look at those people freezing out there. The world is really warming. That dog didn't freeze up in Northern Ohio. It is really warming. Just look at the roads melting down in Australia. Now that's Global Warming! Don't look at Mount Washington being nearly 100 degrees below zero. That is just wind/chill index and has nothing to do with this global warming. Trust me on this, the sun comes up and the sun goes down. (Wow! Aren't you glad I told you that? It shows my superior intelligence here and I am so humble that I am sharing all this superior knowledge with you peons.) And we all call this GLOBAL Warming, not World Warming. (I don't know the difference either, but it sounds good.) But on the average the globe is warming. Don't look at those who say that it isn't. JImmy Hansen has corrupted data to prove that it has. And I the great one can confirm that. I have all that data stored on my Commodore 64 computer."

Overall world temperatures are slowly increasing.

All one hears is climate vs weather, but no one mentions the Sun. The Sun is the major driver of the Earth’s climate and planetary mechanics is the driver of the Sun’s activity level.
Planetary mechanics is the study of orbiting celestial bodies, including
changes to the solar system barycenter, spin orbit coupling, and changes
in angular momentum. It is the very interaction of the motion of the
planets, Sun and moon which dictate our climate and our weather. This
isn’t theory. This is astrophysics.
There are numerous ```cycles built from combinations of solar, lunar
and planetary cycles. Every 18 years there is the Lunar Tidal Cycle
which corresponds to abundance cycles on Earth. About every 60 years
there is the Pacific Decadal Oscillation cycle, the most powerful
climate force on the planet.
Then there is Uranus and Neptune (U-N) with their 178 year orbit beat
cycle. The Sun also operates in 360 year cycles, a harmonic of the U-N
cycle. Each 360 year cycle is composed of Regular Oscillations,
followed by a Grand Solar Maximum, followed by a Grand Solar Minimum.
This totally predictable 360 year cycle has resulted in the Oort,
Sporer, Maunder, Dalton and other unnamed Minimums within the past two
millennia.
In 2009, we entered the next Grand Solar Minimum - the Landscheidt
Minimum. This isn’t unfounded speculation. This is traceable,
predictable planetary mechanics. With the Forthcoming
Grand Minimum of Solar Activity, be prepared for relentless colder
winter temperatures which will reach bottom around 2040. Along the way
there will be ever-increasing fuel scarcity, crop failures, food
shortages, famines and loss of life of millions. The next Little Ice
Age has begun. No amount of pithy CO2 increase is going to provide
enough life-saving warmth.
The Uranus/Neptune coupled with positions of the other gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn reach a unique setup in 2024, which corresponds to cold climate conditions from past such patterns, the little ice age being one.

The US is not the whole world, and even the whole world has only warmed by about 1.5F, not by 70F. Therefore, we should not be surprised if we still see snow.
I see that Cyclops has never heard of representative samples.

As others have pointed out it is the long term trend that is important, and the long term trend as measured by satellites is 0.013 C per year from 1980 to now, at this rate it will take 153 years (from 1980) before we get the 2 degree C rise that everyone seems concerned about.
Also there is no hard evidence that the miniscule 0.013C rise is caused by CO2.
Be worried about global cooling it could happen.

As I write this, it is -43C. That is weather. But, because the climate has warmed, the Permafrost (land that has been frozen for about 20,000 years) is melting, and my house is sinking. That is caused by climate, specifically, the warming climate.

You answered your own question, in a way. Global warming is a long-term trend, and has currently been observed for about 100 years. And it is an average over the entire planet.
You are asking about "the past few days", over a very small part of the planet.
Even if you were talking about the entire United States (including Alaska), over an entire month, you would still only be talking about 2% of the planet's surface area, over about 0.08% of the time over which global warming has been observed. In other words you are making a conclusion about the whole from a fraction of .000016.

Half of the Earth doesn't have land temperature data. These areas are colored in with red crayons to scare people into believing the scam now called climate change.

There's a difference between climate and weather, and therefore a difference between climate change and seasonal weather patterns. Global warming (it's not called world warming) is based on temperature observations around the world that are gathered and compiled to find a yearly average for the entire planet, as well as latitudes or geographic regions. That includes the summer heat no matter how hot or mild, and winter cold no matter how frigid or mild. Over time those averages have been going up with a trend that shows the global climate is slowly warming, while in the past the global average temperatures were rather steady. These are observations and scientific predictions based on fact. To say the planet isn't getting warmer because it gets cold in the winter is like saying the sun won't rise tomorrow because it gets dark at night.
