Warming is not uniform over the whole planet.

No, not uniform, but the trend is supposed to be global.

That, too, falls apart.

See the Medieval Warm Period Project at
http://www.co2science.org/data/mwp/mwpp.jsp which refutes the scientific
consensus about the past (ie, beyond the cherry picked data for the last 150
years to 1000 years, that the warming was local)

What would cause "cold snaps" (over several years, BTW) if the general
trend is towards warming due to "increased greenhouse emissions"?

And are cold snaps natural, but temperature spikes man-made?
