Default Re: Climate Change

The notion that global warming isn't real because it's cold where you are shows a lack of comprehension of what "global" means. Realizing that some people won't get this because their belief system depends on massive denial of publicly observable facts, I will nevertheless repeat once again: weather isn't climate. The cold snap that North America is experiencing east of the rocky mountains, with temperatures at Arctic-like levels, is real, but it isn't global. Simultaneously, there are record warm temperatures happening in other parts of the world, from Australia to the actual Arctic.

Extreme cold snaps have gotten more severe in recent years, due to the impact of global warming on the polar vortex. Although I expect certain people to reject this because it threatens their world view, it's explained quite well here: https://www.forbes.com/sites/startsw.../#588d43a7d8cf
