Global Warming Has “Paused”
Some scientists believe that the current cold spell has “ paused ” global warming. They haven’t abandoned the global warming theory, believing that after the natural cycle of cold weather ends, global warming will resume. They do concede, however, that a warm cycle prior to the current cold cycle could be an indication that manmade global warming might not be as extreme as originally believed.

与 … 有关的
skeptical 怀疑的，怀疑论的
a. having or expressing doubt
e.g. People are skeptical of what she is saying.
I am rather skeptical about their chance of winning.
有明显的迹象显示经济正在好转。
Global Warming Skeptics
Not all scientists believe that the science related to global warming has been settled, and they remain skeptical of global warming. Many skeptics are wellrespected scientists; at least one is a Nobel Prize winner. The reasons for their skepticism vary. Some believe in the theory behind greenhouse gases causing global warming but think the effect is not as great as believed. Others believe the warming is part of a natural cycle.
Four Theories about Global Warming
Cold Winter-Small Piece of Large Puzzle Climate is effectively the average of all types of weather that has occurred for decades or even centuries, and any individual season is not enough information upon which to reach a conclusion, at least according to some climate scientists. Global warming doesn’t guarantee that no winters would be cold or that the temperature would rise on a consistent basis, just that the overall climate would warm. In other words, this group believes that a cold winter—even an extremely cold winter—over a large area is not enough data to alter an opinion. If you believe that global warming is occurring and caused by man, one cold winter shouldn’t change that opinion. Similarly, if you believe that global warming is not a problem, then one hot summer shouldn’t influence your opinion.

Global Warming Actually Causes Extremely Cold Weather There is a theory among some scientists that global warming increases the likelihood of all types of extreme weather, including extreme cold. In other words, the recent extreme cold is proof that global warming is occurring. This theory is often immediately dismissed because of its seemingly contradictory nature; however, if the atmosphere changes its normal flow patterns because of an overall warming, more intense cold, or cold in areas that normally aren’t cold, could indeed follow.
