Obviously, The Snow In The Deep South Is Your Fault

Of course. You were expecting a doomsday cult to not chime in?

BREAKING: Many will point to this as “evidence” that climate change isn’t real, but ironically, it’s likely further proof that it is.

This is Pensacola, Florida, where 10 inches of snow fell on some areas. That’s 3X the record snowfall ever recorded in recent history for this… pic.twitter.com/Epi1almYub

And here’s the NY Times

Why Is It So Cold in the South If the Planet Is Warming? Here’s What We Know.

The unusual gust of frigid air extending down from the North Pole has brought the first-ever blizzard warning to southern Louisiana and grounded flights in Houston. The cold spell could blast the country with heavy snowfall from the Northeast down to the Gulf Coast this week.

What’s responsible for the sudden chill? The polar vortex. And it might be acting strangely because of climate change, though not all researchers agree.

Sigh.

On a warming planet where increasing heat is the main signature of climate change, scientists agree that we will continue to see unusually cold temperatures. A 2021 study suggested that changes in the Arctic, which is warming twice as quickly as the rest of the globe, could be stretching the polar vortex and making the jet stream more wobbly.

“Climate change has increased the disruptions to the polar vortex,” said Judah Cohen, an author of the study and an atmospheric scientist at Atmospheric Environmental Research, a consulting firm that does climate research.

Double sigh. And this same thing was repeated across a wide variety of national and local news outlets. Because cult.

How dare all those people in 1895 drive fossil fueled SUVs!
