I *HOPE* that people are intelligent enough to see that "colder temperatures" < > "warmer climate".
People are dumb. Nearing record levels of "dumb", in fact. But I'm marginally confident that they'll be able to figure out that "Record Breaking Arctic Cold" is not the same thing as "Warmer", and will call the GW kooks out for what they are.
No one ever went broke betting on the stupidity of the American Public.

Yes, we have a “dumb vortex” in this country. Look at all the moronic, mindless and desceptive advertising that bombards Americans day and night. The advertisers wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work.
