Of course the planet's climate extends beyond the CONUS, I made this perfectly clear in my post.
In case you missed it, I was responding to an anecdote involving a 5th grade child (who presumably lives in the CONUS), who could no longer go sledding in the winter, presumably because of "global warming".
I provided primary data, from the NOAA no less, that demonstrates that the average surface temperature in the CONUS has not changed appreciably during the putative 5th grade child's lifetime, demonstrating that his/her lack of being able to sled in the winter may not be due to an overall warming trend in the CONUS, but rather to "weather" as I think you meant.
