Wrong. Polar warm air/cold continents is according to science, not the left.

The Artic is warming three times as fast as the rest of the world, that is significant and has a large impact on climate.
"The Arctic is warming three times as fast"... that's a relative measurement. If the world's atmospheric temp goes up 0.1deg, and the Arctic goes up 0.3deg... then yeah - it's three times as much, but it's really nothing much in reality.

Other than that - you are trying to stuff weather events into a box and create a theory.

What are they saying? That the earth is getting closer to the sun? That we are turning into a fireball. If this happens, we're all doomed. How are they measuring this? Temperature. It is pretty much the same temperature at the antartic. Subzero degrees and freezing. Not getting hotter there. Has to be something else.

Most people understand the meaning of the term 'global'.

Texas has an area of ~696000 square kilometers, the globe ~510,000,000 square kilometers, which is to say that Texas occupies less than 1/732nd of the globe. Most people are smart enough not to conclude that Texas at any given time is somehow representative of the rest of 99.86% of the globe.

But some people just aren't smart enough to grasp that glaringly obvious fact. Maybe they failed geography. Or math. Or common sense.

Holman Jenkins has been writing about the disingenuous claims about climate science for years.

Texas-Style Blackouts Are the Future

Go back and read his previous articles on the deceptive reporting.

Notice that the weather in North America cooled off after we rejoined the Paris Climate accord. That's all it took.

Oh, yeah
Yeah, it's complicated. I know you folks like things simple, but climatology is not simple. There's a lot of interacting effects. States will need to adapt to the consequences over time.

I was once also a climate denier - until I realized it was possible to both follow and acknowledge the actual science, and not really care that much.

I'll see your CO2 measurements....and raise you a "who done it"

China done it > https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o...ederations.png

it's a scam...if it was really dangerous they would not have put rules in place that China can increase it

The USA has not increased CO2/global warming.....in 50 years...USA CO2 emissions are almost exactly the same as it was 50 years ago

....almost all of the increase in CO2/global warming has come from China
