We're hopefully coming to the end of what's been one of the coldest winters I can remember. Between the ice and snow storms, it's been a long, chilly, snowy winter.
So, one of the things I'm hearing lately is, "So much for global warming!" to which I respond right away, "Climate change doesn't mean 'always warmer', just 'always weirder'." I'm tired of people regarding one day's weather, or one location's season of weather, as a putative rebuttal to the mountains of data from around the world -- though that does help explain a number of other political phenomena.
So, no, Mr Trump, this winter isn't an argument against global warming. In fact, it's precisely the kind of thing we'd expect to see.
