And when some place gets cold next winter, someone else will claim that global warming is a hoax.

Momentary highs and lows are expected with or without climate change. The only thing that shows or disproves *global* warming is long-term statistical patterns averaging the entire planet. Anecdotes about particular weather events, whether heat waves, blizzards, hurricanes, droughts, etc., might be interesting, but they don't have anything to say about climate change due to global warming.
