Clearly climatists are worried about current cold weather, ironically triggered by the beginning of COP28 coinciding with heavv snow closing airports in Munich, for example. Add to that Buffalo Bills NFL playoff game postponed due to extreme cold. So Climate Central coordinated a PR campaign lest the believers lose faith in Global Warming.  Later below are noted the three themes that appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.  CO2 Causes Extreme Weather of All Kinds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others claim that rising CO2 causes all kinds of extreme weather, including big chills.  Actually, those stories are way out on a limb, contrary to what IPCC itself says.  Roger Pielke Jr. explains at his substack page What the IPCC Actually Says About Extreme Weather. <\/strong><\/a> I promise, you\u2019ll be utterly shocked.<\/strong> Excerpts in italics with my bolds and added images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back to extreme weather \u2014 let\u2019s take a look what IPCC AR6 says about the time of emergence for various extreme events. Here are some direct quotes related to specific phenomena:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
