Why climate change could make some places colder

As much of the Northern Hemisphere continues to bake in a year of unprecedented heat waves linked to climate change, one paradoxical consequence of rising global temperatures is that some areas of the world could become much colder.

A study published this month by researchers at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research found that the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation (AMOC) current system could be on the verge of collapse.

Hot weather - global warming
Cold weather - global warming
Wet weather - global warming
Dry weather - global warming

They got all bases covered. Any problem in the world is due to global warming (or Trump).

They’ve got to hedge their bets as the trends appear to be toward cooling.

It’ll be nice and cool in the homes and offices of the tyrants in charge.

Forcing you and I to discard AC in the name of saving the planet, they will have plenty of extra power available for themselves.

“Climate change” implies that places will get hotter or colder. That’s why it’s convenient for the duplicitous left to use that term. Duh.

We didn’t have all this climate change/ global warming back when we were busy trying to close the hole in the ozone layer. Maybe that hole needs to be reopened. /S
