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.

Hey, one of you predicted idiots would say this.
Pure unadulterated BS.
Is there anyone stupid enough to swallow this?

Because God designed it that way.

Yes, my next door neighbor.

Nothing an imposed global climate change tax cant fix. s/c
Do puny humans effect the sun, slight fluctuations of the earth’s rotations and its cyclical, global wind patterns? Expert idiots would have you believe otherwise.
Until 2024 ends.
It’s CNN.
No more need be said.
Experts Agree!©
If you get record breaking heat and record breaking cold and average them out what do you get for the year?
That’s why the “climate scientists” changed it from Global Warming to Climate Change .... to have it either way at their whim.
Huge is a scientific word.
Therefore the article is completely factual.
QED
They’ve got all their bases covered. It’s like saying that a rainstorm in the desert is proof there’s no desert.
this article reminds me... I need to put pretzels on my shopping list.
(Because this article has to twist reality into pretzels.)
At the risk of being non PC...this is reverse Polish logic.
