When the weather starts to get really cold,
you might hear someone say, “It’s freezing
outside. So much for all that global warming,
huh?” (Cue heavy sigh.)
Using cold weather as “proof” that the
climate crisis isn’t real is a super popular
denier talking point. So much so that comedian
Stephen Colbert even once quipped, “Global warming
isn’t real because I was cold today. Also, great
news, world hunger is over because I just ate.”
|
While you might know this talking point is
totally bogus, it can be a challenge to convey the
difference between climate and weather without
getting tongue-tied.
Better yet, it’s short, sweet, and to
the point – so the next time you need to share the
facts, you’ll be ready.
| | |
And the facts are more important than
ever.
When weather and climate get confused, it can
be an easy excuse to kick the can down the road on
taking action to end this crisis. While
the weather might be cold or snowy on any given
day, the science is clear: On average, our world
is getting warmer and warmer over time. Our
climate is changing and we need to act today to
stop it.
