Right. The local temperature has very little to do with it.

[Arlo]
Yeah, you know I have no problem with legitimate challenges being 
made to this, or any, theory. That's what we are supposed to be doing 
to move things forward. But pandering statements about "its snowing 
in Delaware" are harmfully misinformative and reflect a real lack of 
substantive understanding, an understanding required to bring 
legitimate grievances to bear. Its the same deceitful tactic as the 
whole "death panels" schtick. Rather than understand what was being 
done, and have a legitimate dialogue over concerns and actualities, 
it turned an uninformed population into a misinformed population, 
then whooped into an angry mob.
