Now Cold Is Caused By Global Warming

Well, trying to frighten us with a warmer planet didn't work. So now they're going to claim that CO2 will worsen winter weather.Will they now try to convince us that sea levels will lower and we'll be overrun with polar bears?
Peterson said the latest climate change data indicate increases in global temperature result in more intense weather events, including winter storms.

As the planet warms, “frequency of storms will stay the same, but the intensity will increase,” he said.

“Multiple peer-review papers indicate that strong storms are likely to increase. So the climate change is changing the probability of a strong storm occurring,” he said.

Peterson warned that you cannot determine whether climate change is occurring based on an individual weather event. Instead, scientists study climate trends over the course of thousands of years.

“Weather events are pixels in the climate picture. Some are indicative of changes we are experiencing; some simply reflect the variability of weather and climate. As the world continues to warm, heat waves are an example of the former,” he said, while adding that extreme winter weather events are “examples of the latter.”
