Check your home insurance bill.
Yes. Climate change causes extreme cold spells. But I’m sure your little mind can’t wrap around a warming climate causing cold weather.
Only a moron would ask this question.
Yet another Darwin Award winner. You maganazis literally own those awards.
If all the libs would just turn off their lights and stop driving their cars and stop flying and turn off their air conditioners and turn down the heat that would be a good start.
Rising climate temps affect the jet streams, and weak jet streams allow cold air to shift from the poles.
I can’t stand people who use weather to deny climate change. What was the average winter like back in the 70s and 80s?
Earth has undergone thousands of changes in the climate over its billions of years in existence.
And the weather changes daily.
Unless you live in San Diego. 😛

Exactly the same effect that causes "blocking patterns" that stay in place for weeks, causing prolonged droughts in one area, and 500-yr flooding in others.
And the Re-Insurance companies are telling us that's exactly what they are seeing, and why they are increasing their re-insurance rates.
IIRC, Trad claimed they were just "gouging", and never had a response for why some other uber-rich entity doesn't just sweep in and undersell all of them. That reason is because those other uber-rich entities can hire actuaries, too, and know they'll lose all their money if they do it.
And humans didn't exist for most of it (and most of us would not survive during those times)
According to Elon they are still living and collecting Social Security. 😂😂😂
yeah....and they were colder and snowier
Can confirm sister delivered newspapers in the 80’s. Did the same in late 80s early 90s. Would have loved to have had only a couple weeks of single digit to 20 degree temps and moderate snow. As opposed to a couple months of it.
Honestly can’t remember the last winter that I’ve missed owning a snow thrower.
The last time(s) CO2 levels have risen this quickly, we've had the two largest extinction events in all of Earth's history...

The only solution is nuclear and nobody seems to a fan of it.
Nobody is willing to give up anything like big homes, multiple homes, SUVs, boats, or flying.

Growing up in Florida I just remember “cold snaps” as we called them so I have no childhood memories of long winters.
I do remember as an adult that my husband and and I were living in the NYC area when the Blizzard of 77 hit. I remember Madison Wisconsin when the snow started on Halloween night and we never saw the ground again until we moved to Texas. (Thank you Jesus)
But I also remember a horrible cold snap in Tampa (yes we were transferred a lot) over Christmas of 83 when the high was about 19 degrees and our house stayed cold inside cause Florida houses aren’t insulated like Iowa houses. The heat pump ran straight for three days and the oven was on all day for Christmas dinner. The kids couldn’t go outside and ride the bikes Santa had brought. There were snow flurries in Miami. But just last month NoFla/I-10 corridor over in the Panhandle got real snow that stayed around a couple of days.
Last week we were in the 80’s here and tomorrow night we will be in the upper 20’s which is why we sissy Florida folks get sick - or so we claim.
I am a climate change believer but I am also one who believes we live on a billion+ year old planet where the climate is going to change whether you and I are here or not.

No one argues there are natural forcings affecting climate.
Currently, the largest impacts are man-made.
Notice OP didn’t get to break this gem out until mid February. Ignoring the 40 to 60 degree weather in November, December, and January.
Once this cold spell breaks, Iowa and all of the upper Midwest is set for much higher than seasonal temperatures. For the next 2 weeks.
As long as people keep building monstrosities where none rightfully existed before....and then claim the sky is falling....
There is no scientific (empirical) evidence that supports the unproven hypothesis that humans are causing or will cause catastrophic global warming by increasing the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere. None. CO2 is an invisible, odorless and tasteless trace gas that is essential to all life on earth. We need more CO2 in the atmosphere not less, as CO2 enhances crop production worldwide and greens the planet. If CO2 concentration drops below 150 parts per million, all life on earth will die (CO2 dropped to 180 ppm during the last ice age). Conversely, green houses regularly keep CO2 concentrations at 1,000–1,200 ppm because the plants grow better. In the past, CO2 levels have been at several thousand parts per million and plants and animals thrived. U.S. submarines try to keep CO2 levels below 8,000 ppm. Federal OSHA standards set CO2 maximums at 5,000 ppm. When you exhale, your breath contains more than 40,000 ppm CO2. Currently, atmospheric CO2 levels are about 415-420 ppm.
The earth is estimated to be about 4.5 billion years old. During most of this time, climate has been changing. This is natural. The climate change we have experienced in the past 150 years is what we should expect from normal variation.

100% FALSE
And the hypothesis that humans are causing the warming is 100% proven correct.
Anthony Watts was even part of that study (but he backed out on the publications, when they didn't prove what he wanted them to)
Climate change is normal and has been happening for millions of years. There is No catastrophic climate change now or in the foreseeable future. Humans probably do contribute somewhat to climate change but the contribution is so insignificant that scientists have been unable to measure it.
Might be time to declare today the dumbest day on this forum and that’s saying a lot
