Is posting about global warming during the coldest winter in recent history intentional?

  Where "recent history" means "last three years"?

    No. Last 45 years.

      December 2025 was the 5th warmest December since records began in 1850, with an anomaly of +1.05°C above the C20th baseline : https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/monthly-report/global/202512 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/monitoring/monthly-report/g... January 2026 was the 5th warmest January since records began in 1850, with an anomaly of +1.12°C above the C20th baseline: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-202601 https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/news/global-climate-202601 The anomaly for the first two weeks of February 2026 was greater still, at +1.69°C. Perhaps the last few days have been incredibly cold, but until then we were on course for it to be the third warmest February in recorded history.

        I live in parts that in this map https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/inline-images/map-percentile-mntp-202601.png https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/sites/default/files/inline-images/... are marked as cooler than average.

          You were talking about "global warming" in a thread explicitly discussing how "Earth is warming". Variations in regional weather are something else entirely.
