Explain how it is possible for some locations in the world to experience colder than average years, or even see a trend of cooling over several years, despite the general trend of global warming defined by global average temperature. Give an example of a process that can cause this. What factors in the climate system can introduce noise in local records? How can using a local record that shows something different than the general trend be a form of anecdotal reasoning?
