> There are supporters saying 'temperature is not climate when it comes to disproving climate change, yet try to use the same argument when proving that it exists.
Everywhere I've seen both these arguments used, the attempted-disprovers are using something like "worst snowstorm ever in X location means it can't be getting warmer", whereas the supporters are talking about the average temperature of the whole planet, and how the increase in energy in the system is causing extreme weather, both hot and cold.
tl;dr– local temperature vs average temperature: not the same argument.
If you have counter-examples, I'd welcome them.
