The Spin
Record cold waves hitting 40 states prove the global warming narrative has been wildly exaggerated. Extreme winter conditions like these contradict decades of climate alarmism. Environmental activists owe an explanation for why their predictions don't match reality.
Global warming increases weather extremes, including both heat waves and severe cold snaps, exactly as scientists predicted decades ago. Confusing a single cold event with long-term climate trends ignores a century of data. Patterns and science matter more than isolated weather events.
