First, some articles from pro-global warming alarmists, or quotes of pro-global activists from anti-warming activists.--to show how the pro side says global warming causes cooler winters.
In recent years, advocates of the global warming theory have convinced many Americans that virtually any weather-related calamity is evidence that human-induced global warming is underway.
The Clinton Administration knows this all too well. The Florida fires, the northeastern blizzard in 1996, the hurricanes of 1995, floods in South Dakota in 1997 and the heat waves in the South and West this year have all been cited by the Clinton Administration as evidence that global warming is occurring and that we need to act immediately to stop it.

The IPCC and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences agree that one major effect of global warming is likely to be more extreme weather --longer droughts, worse floods, hotter summers and colder winters, more and stronger hurricanes, tornadoes and wind storms. In 1994, the head of the IPCC, Professor Bert Bolin of Stockholm University, warned that, "Most of the damage due to climate change is going to be associated with extreme events, not the smooth global increase of temperature that we call global warming."

By February, Canadians' love of fresh snow and winter sports has given way to annoyance, as we shovel our driveways for the umpteenth time. This winter, we've had some particularly nasty weather. But far colder and much nastier winters could be in store for us, especially for eastern Canadians and perhaps very soon.
The culprit, weirdly enough, could be global warming

And here is a short bit on Al Gore's speach during the coldest day, in many years, in New York.
Gore is determined to deliver the speech -- hoping to make the case how "Global warming" is actually the cause of the record cold snap!

"The extreme conditions are actually the end result of the planet warming," Gore has told advisers, sources say, in explaining his motivations. "The Bush policies are leading to weather extremes."
Now for a few of the critics on global warming.
A new study presented to the American Geophysical Union (AGU) documents that the concentration of concrete, large buildings, and other human activities artificially raises urban temperatures in such cities as Atlanta and Houston by an average of 10 degrees on hot summer days. The study supports a wide body of evidence suggesting ground-based temperature readings do not provide reliable evidence of significant global warming.
On December 17, just one week after the AGU study was released, the New York Times nevertheless reported 2003 was the third warmest year on record, and that the three hottest years on record all have occurred during the past six years. The misleading Times story, based on temperature readings taken at ground-based weather stations, conflicts with satellite measurements of the Earth’s lower atmosphere, which show very little, if any, warming since measurements began in 1979.
Recent studies on urban heat island effects appear to reconcile the ground-based measurements with the satellite data.

But there is something NASA isn't telling you. This data comes from ground based temperatures --- usually measured by thermometers at airports. That presents a problem. Besides being moved a few times in their history and data being taken by an infinite number of people, all but a few of these stations in the first half of the twentieth century were surrounded by open countryside. The cities served by these airports expanded beyond the airports in the latter half of the twentieth century -- especially from the mid-1970s on. The airports, and therefore the thermometers, are now surrounded by asphalt, tar-paper roofs and tall buildings that trap heat.

"The climate has wormed in the last century, but this took place before 1940. ...we don't think it was human activity. Satellite records form of the temperatures from 3 miles up, do not show any warming at all. Heat Islands caused by urbanization have distorted thermometer temperatures."

Interestingly, the pro-global warming activists take 2 different positions. Some say that winters get colder. Some say that winters get warmer. But the vast majority, as far as I can tell from all the articles I have read, say colder and more extreme conditions--especially environmental groups and Bush bashing groups.
The anti-global warming people seem to pretty much all agree that warmer nights and winters is from the Urban "heat island" effect--and do not indicate any global warming.
I can give you a lot more sources for this, but you can do a quick search using "global warming and extreme weather" and "global warming fraud and heat island effect" and variations thereof, if you want more sources.
