This is a fallacy. "It's cold where I am" is not disproof of climate change. You can have locally-cold temperatures while global-average temperatures continue to rise.
In fact, "extreme weather patterns" are predicted by climate change scientists. Some areas will get really cold while other areas get really hot. Temperatures fluctuating wildly should be cause for concern.

- ggggtez 7y ago>people Which "people"? This is a strawman. >they get a pass because they’re on the correct side. You know what, if you read an Addition Table, and memorize that 2+2=4, but you don't know how to reason it out from the base principals, field and ring theory, geometry, etc? Sure you get a pass. The experts have done the math many times, and you can trust them. If you want to tell me 2+2=5 because you found an table from an Addition Denier online? Then yeah, you're going to be ridiculed.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoGreat analogy, makes a really convincing point.
