Realistically, cold weather and cold winters do not mean that climate change, whether you believe it is natural or mankind, is fake. The summer of 1778 was reported to be unusually hot, and resulted in more men dying from the heat than from wounds during the Battle Of Monmouth in June of that year. This was during the Little Ice Age.

But, as we’ve seen, the Cult of Climastrology keeps trotting out reasons why you’re use of a fossil fueled vehicle is making it hotter which also makes it colder. And here’s National Geographic

Why cold weather doesn’t mean climate change is fake
Weather and climate aren’t the same thing, meaning you can expect harsher winters in a warming world.

A record-breaking cold snap is relentlessly descending on parts of the U.S. this month. It spawned from a split polar vortex that sent cold, Arctic air across the continent.

In a time when climate change is discussed in the context of record highs, droughts, and wildfires, cold weather and blizzards can seem out of place. For those who deny that climate change is happening, it’s an opportunity to undermine scientific consensus.

Once you mention consensus, you’ve left science.

How do you explain a cold winter in a world that scientists say is getting hotter?

First, it’s important to understand the difference between climate and weather. Climate is defined as the average weather patterns in a region over a long period of time. It’s the difference between Europe’s temperate and Mediterranean zones versus the harsh cold conditions of the Arctic tundra. Each of these climate regions experiences day-to-day fluctuations in temperature, precipitation, air pressure, and so on—daily variations known as weather.

Yet, Warmists do this daily, blaming/linking every weather event on anthropogenic climate change, and even blaming/linking volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis on mankind’s output of carbon pollution.

When the term global warming was popularized a few decades ago, it referred to the phenomenon of greenhouse gases trapping heat in the atmosphere and warming the average temperature of the planet. Though record high temperatures in many places have been one impact of this decades-long shift, scientists now understand that an atmosphere changed by rising levels of gases like carbon and methane leads to more climate changes than just warming.

Scientists believe Earth will experience more extreme, disastrous weather as the effects of climate change play out.

In other words, the actual data for warming wasn’t working out for them, so they changed the language to encompass everything. Totally scientific, eh?

In response to President Trump’s January 20 tweet about cold temperatures, Potsdam University physicist Stefan Rahmstorf noted on Twitter that, while North America was experiencing cold Arctic air, the rest of the world was abnormally hot. And, the polar vortex bringing that cold air to the U.S. may actually become increasingly unstable, Rahmstorf noted.

As more Arctic air flows into southern regions, North America can expect to see harsher winters. That was the conclusion of a study published in 2017 in the journal Nature Geoscience. It found a link between warmer Arctic temperatures and colder North American winters. A separate study published in March of last year in the journal Nature Communications found the same link but predicted the northeastern portion of the U.S. would be particularly hard hit.

Same old same old way of blaming mankind for creating a warmer world that will have winter weather. Cult.
