You’re mistakenly tagging “The Hill” articles as being from “Breitbart” - just a heads up.
The changing climate is mostly naturally driven by a periodically quiet sun and periodically more active outer core (as seen in the magnetic field movements and anomalies). The results are the fluctuations that you’re seeing. They’ll eventually pass.
Clerical error on my phone. My apologies
Sorry for the error
Yes. I'm old enough to remember snowstorms in San Francisco. What? It never snows in San Francisco at sea level? Well, yes it did. Early 1960's we got a blanket of snow, and my Dad's dog freaked out and wouldn't get out of the car when we went to a local park. Happened again in the mid-1970's, and I froze my butt off trying to hitchhike a ride. We got light snow recently in the last decade, but not enough to build a snowman like decades ago. Weather is cyclic, with extremes happening a lot over time.
I blame Santa Claus
Being acclimated to the temperatures common around the North Pole he had the Elves tell Old Man Winter to blow a chilly blast southwards right before Christmas Day making it all frosty-good for his yearly journey.
This is more believable than the weak excuses and ignorance coming from the TV about “climate change”
We had several light snows on the Peninsula in the 80s and 90s. We took the kids sledding up on Russian Ridge on Skyline one time. A very hard week-long freeze in the low 20s killed my lemon tree around 1987. I’ve seen lots of ice ponds at Almaden Quicksilver Park at the higher elevations. I’ve been in the area 49 years and it has not changed one bit I can tell.
The fruit blossoms will be popping out in six or seven weeks!
I’m at our Idaho place right now in the deep freeze, but headed back to the Peninsula in a couple weeks.
How much change is allowed in a climate before you call it a changing climate and when is the climate ever static?
It's all semantics with these people.
They can ask questions, even smart questions, but they have no answers.
I was born and raised in the Mission District of San Francisco. We had a view out our rear windows of the Mission District seeing Twin Peaks at the west, to Potrero Hill at the east, and downtown towers to the north. Amazing to see the entire city covered in snow in the 1960’s. Moved to Daly City in the early 1970’s, and when it snowed, unfortunately my car was broken down and I walked from Skyline College in San Bruno along Skyline to Daly City which was fine until it snowed and I tried hitch-hiking along with a friend. Froze our butts off during the long walk because no one wears winter clothing on the Peninsula. In the Tahoe area, we bundle up. But not in the SF area. We’ve seen cycles of drought and flooding, and someday the snow will return. That’s nature at work, not mankind.
Climate is what you expect, Weather is what you get.🤔
I know what you mean about the clothes. I see the local high school kids walking to school on 30 degree mornings in shorts and tee shirts. They’d never get caught dead in a jacket or long pants.
Watching the local tv weather reports about the latest “Bomb cyclone hurricane volcano storm etc”... that water is wet, and when it gets cold, it turns into a slippery substance called “ice”. They also tell what to wear, what to carry with you, the best time to walk your dog, the best coffee to drink
etc...
How I’ve managed to live my entire 65 years in the Northeast without this information I’ll never know.

I know what you mean,
Here in the Northeast, I see kids (mostly boys) standing in the cold, in t-shirts, crocs, etc...
We had our fashion trends in the 70’s when I was in school,
but it was always weather appropriate.
Marko
YEAH but record heat in Australia.
Shame on the author. It is “Climate disruption.”
Or what the world used to call it, weather.
I’m dreading the next high capacity vortex polar bomb cyclone.
