and its going to be 63 on tuesday....everyone buy that LFA or 458 you always wanted. We don't have much time left. The ice age is coming !!!!!!!!!

Can I just suggest it's a perfect time to come and visit Australia.

Most of the country has just got some reprieve from the heatwave that gave us a month of 110f days / 70f nights.

Southern states are now enjoying 80f days and ~65f nights.

Of course, If you do visit our little country, I recommend you add south-east Queensland to your itinerary where it's 90f during the day and 70f at night pretty much every day from December to March.

In all seriousness, this is why the scientific community started referring to "global warming" as "climate change".

The effect of global warming is that it makes extreme weather events more extreme and more common - This winter wonderland you're experiencing now is global warming in action.

Oh, I know! And only a moron wouldn’t understand that all these sub zero temperatures actually prove that global warming is real!

Yeah, it’s supposed to spike up to the sixties within a matter of days. I prefer the cold though. Less people tend to go out meaning there’s less people to deal out in public haha

You need to get your story straight. When weather like this comes around most of the global warming loons I know say "weather isn't climate."

I thought the theory was that it was the warming that was gonna kill us in 12 years. Now everything is climate change?

People are so gullible.

Lol... I forgot to put my sarcasm emoji in my post.

I'm working outside of Philadelphia this week where the real feel temp is a balmy -10 (-23 C) right now (8:00 PM).

... and they'd be wrong. That's what happens when you ask the general population about science stuff... same as if you asked the same people about medical stuff (antivaxers and homeopathic fanatics come to mind).

It isn't up to the general population or politicians to dispute the science. It's like politicians saying "smoking doesn't cause cancer" or saying "this man didn't die of a gun-shot wound" while holding an autopsy report saying they did.

Politicians and the General population get to decide what to do about it, not whether or not it is what it is.

We're all a bit too polite these days in not telling people they're simply not qualified to rationally review the body of scientific evidence in any given field and come up with an unbiased answer. Unless you've done a PhD in climate change; (or in Vaccines, or 'the geometric shape of the world') you're not qualified to dispute the findings of the international scientific community.

You do, however, get to have input in what we as a society choose to do about it. And ignoring the problem is an entirely valid position. Saying the problem does not exist is not.

Now, since I'm not a scientist, I'll need to respond to you with a link from someone who is: https://www.livescience.com/37057-gl...g-effects.html

Extreme weather events
Extreme weather is another effect of global warming. While experiencing some of the hottest summers on record, much of the United States has also been experiencing colder-than-normal winters.

Changes in climate can cause the polar jet stream — the boundary between the cold North Pole air and the warm equatorial air — to migrate south, bringing with it cold, Arctic air. This is why some states can have a sudden cold snap or colder-than-normal winter, even during the long-term trend of global warming, Werne explained.

"Climate is, by definition, the long-term average of weather, over many years. One cold (or warm) year or season has little to do with overall climate. It is when those cold (or warm) years become more and more regular that we start to recognize it as a change in climate rather than simply an anomalous year of weather," he said.

Global warming may also lead to extreme weather other than cold or heat extremes. For example, hurricane formations will change. Though this is still a subject of active scientific research, current computer models of the atmosphere indicate that hurricanes are more likely to become less frequent on a global basis, though the hurricanes that do form may be more intense.

Welp, it's a global-warming-caused 19 degrees outside right now in my part of Tennessee....Hate to think what it would be if we were suffering from global cooling...It might be (gasp!) 18 degrees outside!!! Yikes!

It hit -10 not too long ago.

I feel like in the winter every road imperfection here (present every 2 seconds of driving) feels even more jarring. With these negative temps I'm going to need a back massage + new struts!

Dude, you aren't kidding. It's a combination of all the damn potholes being uncovered and the cold weather making the suspension stiffer, and tires harder.

Was coming off of 96 east onto the Southfield freeway and was dodging several HUGE potholes that could have easily swallowed my tires. A few miles down the road I saw a dodge neon that had about 25 degrees of camber on his rear driver side wheel.. Must have busted something!

Holy shit! Super cold right now -10° windchills -30°. Even with wearing longjons, my work bibs, hoodie and FR jacket and facemask it's still freakin cold

Tried changing my battery out and my fingers froze off.

You FL people crack me up. 69 F is my perfect beach day, laying in the sun without breaking a sweat.

It was -20C here this morning in Southern Ontario, warming up to a -13C during the day. Thankfully my car is garage kept but she starts okay sitting in the cold too. I think the trunk mounted battery helps.

For all those living in Florida and Arizona, how do you enjoy the summers? I was in Florida in the summer for business and wow, I remember being blasted with a wave of humid air so hot when I arrived, and the locals told me this is normal. Where I am, we have a great Spring and Summer can get hot and humid 30C+ but typically its in the 20Cs with some days humid other days not and there are plenty of beaches and pools close by.

As for Arizona and Nevada, summer is bat shit hot, its true the dry heat helps but there is also no beaches. I did go to Lake Mead but that was the only option I am aware of.
I really liked Tuscon but Phoenix with all the concrete was so hot during the day, it was like a ghost town.

Just curious how the people from the warm climates deal or enjoy the summer? As for California, I will admit, it has the perfect climate; its just becoming so liberal, overpopulated and taxed.

Lol they enjoy it by staying indoors in front of the AC unit full blast!
