Looks like China might be having some unseasonably cold weather for the Winter Olympics.

Beijing Winter Olympics fully prepared for cold waves, as artificial snowmaking meets low-carbon standards
As the city of Beijing is expected to experience one of the coldest winters ever this year, which could be subject to other weather extremes, Beijing Winter Olympics meteorological security researchers said the organizing committee has prepared for various weather conditions to ensure that the outdoor events will not be affected by sudden weather extremes.

In Beijing, this winter's first major snowfall came 23 days earlier than usual, as a severe cold wave hit many parts of China over the weekend with heavy snowfalls and plunging temperatures.
Yeah... #1) - the world is cooling off and #2) - yes, we do influence the overall climate but this influence is a pittance. A few percent at best. The idea that our activities can cause a profound change is pure fscking hubris.
