Yes, you should fear record cold temps and early snowfall, because they're all part of the same scenario -- increasingly more dramatic extremes in weather patterns. That's why we no longer use the limited "global warming" phrase to describe what's happening, since that limits in most of the general public's collective thought patterns what is actually unfolding before us. If you're a doubter, you don't have to take the "elitist intellectuals" word for it. Just look at the recent weather data for the last 5-10 years in any spot on the planet. Chances are, you'll see in most places, record highs AND lows for more than one year (in some cases, as much as 5 of the last 10) . And that's not counting other all-time historical records in the last 5, such as driest; plus highest numbers and most intense tornadoes and/or hurricanes; most frequent and/or catastrophic flood events; highest number and most intense wildfires; etc., etc. ... You can decide for yourself what's causing it -- man-made CO2 emissions or Biblical predictive providential influence. But there's no denying the events that are actually occurring right in front of our eyes. How many times have you heard someone interviewed on the news (broadcast or print, mainstream or cable/internet) recently saying, "I've never seen anything like this before in my whole life." Anecdotal, yes. Choose your input -- scientific data OR man-on-the-street observation. Either way, the result is the same: The weather, and everything associated with it, is changing...whether we like it or not. ... To quote a hackneyed old TV ad, "It's not nice to fool Mother Nature." Peace out.
Typical tirade of the uninformed, via someone who's clearly not aware that the phrase, "it's the economy, stupid" was created by Clinton campaign strategist James Carville in the early 90s. Last time I checked, Carville and Clinton were lifelong Dems -- as is the current U.S. House majority. It made sense, in a way, at the time, when the first Bush sank us into a recession. Here's an amusing read that explains the misuse of this now over-co-opted and outdated bromide: https://www.salon.com/2019/11/09/anyone-wh…. Enjoy, (enlightened) America.
