Dec 2010 Cold in Eastern US and Europe

The linked Earth Observatory image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite shows clearly Dec 2010 temperature anomalies. Basically, we in the NE U.S. and most of Europe have been experiencing significantly below normal temperatures, while the Canadian high artic and Greenland have been experiencing significantly above normal temperatures.

And this continues, especially in the UK, even after the Dec 10 end date for the satellite image. An obvious question is: Could this temperature flip-flop be due to greenhouse gas induced climate change?
