Yeah it was hot as fuck until december totally normal
I don’t really pay attention to the whole climate thing. But I have a co worker that always screams about global warming when it’s hot, but when it’s cold it’s just weather
Global average temperature sets a new record high about every year. It’s definitely warming which causes all sorts of strange aftereffects like extreme weather changes both hot and cold in localized areas.
Cool story bro
But snow isn’t warm!
Atlanta, Georgia, recorded 2.1 inches (5.3 cm), the most in seven years.
My house in Atlanta got closer to 3-4". To my recollection, at least, it’s the most snow since the “blizzard of 1993.”
The high today is supposed to be 40 °F, but there’s still enough ice left that I think there’s a decent chance schools will be closed again tomorrow.
is it journalistic malpractice to not so much as mention climate change in an article about this topic?
It’s not good, but I can see why. If they did they’d be flooded with denialist comments, and I understand not wanting that. I don’t agree though, should absolutely be mentioned no matter the denialist idiots.
