Surely it's a consequence of climate change. Expect highly unusual weather where ever you are. In the USA, record breaking highs well past 100 in the Pacific Northwest has been happening. Less unusual for time of year is there has been a lot of rain falling from southwest Texas to Illinois.
Weather extremes aren't rare, nor are they a harbinger of or a consequence of climate change. Check your facts before you make such unfounded assertions. Indeed the weather can be extremely uncomfortable and unusual at times. But to infer that these extremes represent proof of anthropogenic climate change is folly, the result of blithely accepting an unprovable pseudo-scientific hypothesis as fact.
Listen to me right here and now gwilk. You are all out
WRONG in trying to make a point. I am close to 70 years old. In Feb. of 2021, never have I witnessed such long lasting intense cold in Oklahoma. It went on day after day and got down to around 14 below. I have never had to deal with frozen water pipes before. Fortunately, they did not break.
I love the showy blossoms of Crepe Myrtle bushes every summer, but the extreme cold destroyed all the above ground growth on many of them. I've never seen them harmed that bad from prolonged intense cold. At least, they weren't destroyed below ground, so they are trying to make a come back by returning with growth from the ground up. I am sure happy that the magnolia trees weren't destroyed. They blossomed with their white flowers but were a little late this year.
In 2011, in Oklahoma and Texas the extreme drought and 100+ degree temperatures that went on day after day for up to around 100 days non stop was all time record setting and unbelievable to the old timers.
So, of course, climate change is going on like never before in everybody's lives. Great Salt Lake and Meade Lake are at low levels seldom, if ever seen before. Who knows how low they will go? If the intense drought in that part of the country doesn't let up, I won't be too surprised bottled water has to be trucked in to Salt Lake City and Las Vegas.
It seems those who are opposed to trying to do anything about climate change feel mankind is helpless to do anything about it, and that we must be personally responsible enough to clean up after weather disasters as they happen. Well, if you're cleaning up after several closely spaced weather disasters, then I'd say it's time to move to a different part of the country not as subject to weather disasters caused by climate change.
