Global warming blasts Midwest

"Hundreds of schools in at least three states were closed because officials feared for the safety of children venturing outdoors to walk to class or to bus stops. One of the largest districts to close was Milwaukee’s, where for the second day in a row Tuesday more than 90,000 students and about 8,000 administrators were out of class. The temperature there was 11 degrees below zero Tuesday morning, with a wind chill that made it seem like minus 30."

The story failed to mention that the bitter cold was caused by global warming.
