How come every time Al Gore goes to give a "global warming" talk, records get broken...for low temperatures and icy/winter storms?

Just because you have a record low or something along those lines, this does not mean that average temperatures do not continue to rise.

My jest is aimed at global warming, not my country. Examples of 'me before my country' are found in 90% of the posts in RHP forums. There is not much I can do about global warming.
Are you saying that you can not help reduce the emission of greenhouse gases to help stop it?
