After a summer of record-breaking heat, vast swaths of the United States are now grappling with extreme cold as a brutal Arctic blast brings snow squalls, deadly ice and life-threatening wind chills.
As unprecedented heat makes way for cold, it can provide fuel for climate-change deniers who point to freezing temperatures as evidence that global warming is overstated.
But scientists are clear: cold extremes will still occur even as winters warm overall.
Global heat records outpace cold records — 2023 was the hottest year on record by a huge margin. And even as the US struggles to cope with intense bursts of heavy snow now, over the long term, the human-caused climate crisis has led to an alarming trend of disappearing snow in the Northern Hemisphere.
Some scientists say that climate change may even be playing a role in these icy blasts, as warming in the Arctic increases the likelihood that frigid, polar air can sweep southwards.

I’m always thirsty anyway, so it matters not.
Must be nice to have a theory that no matter what happens, you are proven correct.
Because war is peace.
Slavery is freedom.
Cold is hot.
Something like .6 degrees above the last record, which I believe was about 10 years ago. Statistically insignificant.
Oh yes, the hookers, please folks don’t forget!
If you don’t eat your bugs there will be some very sad prostitutes in Eastern Europe!
It’s actually 0.04%, but that’s still teeny-tiny.
Gasbag Gaslighter Globalist Global Warners!
Record snows over the past two years and likely this year point to Global cooling.
Likewise, hot summers can occur even as the planet cools.
What morons.
It’s as bad at that stupid propaganda piece The Day After Tomorrow.
The MSM’s fabricated reality.
“warming in the arctic increases the likelihood that frigid, polar air can sweep southwards”.
NOW I GET IT; IF IT GETS WARM, IT WILL GET COLDER!!!!

Groupthink mind guards.
So defeating global warming will end these polar vortices. As likely as King Canute commanding the tides to stop.

Global warming CAUSES global cooling! Any fool knows that! Tue science is settled, duh!
No matter what we have the answer
