For the past 20yrs, I've listened anti-GW cultists gloat "This is the last nail for this fad", "this is the end of this scam", "The end is nigh for the carbon credit extortion".
Yet here we are...
The slightest cold air coming from the pole is an excuse to rehash their griefs.
Btw, if cold air comes from the pole... then it must be that warm air from the south moves north toward the pole on the other side, right?
What does it mean at a global level?
If GW is real, why am I still so fucking cold every winter when I live in the SW United States!?
Yeah... let's wrap it with seemingly practical anecdotal evidence (even if it obviously make no sense whatsoever).

Ah...so if no harm happens right now, or in the next 10 yrs, no need to even think about it, right?

I'd argue that science here is not settled by any stretch of imagination. As none of us are climate scientists, arguing here is rather pointless.
Having said that, using less of fossil fuels is good in any case - less money to Saudi Barbaria, Russia, and Ajatollahs; less pollution; less ocean acidification.
fixation on CO2, which is the least of the problem - if a problem at all
I'd argue that science here is not settled by any stretch of imagination.
the warming trend has STOPPED at least in the past few years

Right.
Because we know how much fossil fuels we burn, we measure the CO2 increasing, we know it's a greenhouse gas, we measure out going radiation reflected by it back to the floor, we measure the temperature increasing, we measure the loss of sea ice.... But nothing is settled... Maybe the heat will miraculously go away through some yet undetermined mechanism. So why panic? Look: cold whether in the US. Let's wait 100 yrs doing nothing and see where we are then.
Plus of course we'll all be dead, so who cares?
Ah...so if no harm happens right now, or in the next 10 yrs, no need to even think about it, right?. They say that every ten years, starting 35 years ago. It's always. Right around the corner.

mell saysthe warming trend has STOPPED at least in the past few years
Right. Maybe it just stopped for some reason.
Yeah... let's wrap it with seemingly practical anecdotal evidence (even if it obviously make no sense whatsoever).
Plus anyway.... it goes against my other personal beliefs. And the other cultists are with me.
It was sooo easy to rationalize away....
I saw a meme about a week and a half ago saying to brace ourselves for the idiot climate change deniers when the arctic blast occurs now.
And this is different from idiot climate change promoters coming out of woodwork whenever a heat wave occurs exactly how?
It's been decades since Chicago had the kind of winters we had when I was a kidAnd I'd say thank goodness! Most people hate the cold and it's much more threatening to life and growth than heat.
