Do NOT miss this: Grist warmist Philip Bump on why it's cold outside: "We are thousands of miles farther from the Sun than we were six months ago. That changes the average temperature"

How to respond to people who say the cold weather disproves global warming | Grist

This happens, you should remind the person, because the Earth doesn’t rotate straight up and down. The Earth’s axis is tilted. So for part of the year as the Earth rotates around the Sun, the Southern Hemisphere is farther from the Sun than the Northern Hemisphere. When that happens, we experience summer and they experience winter. Now, the opposite is true. We are thousands of miles farther from the Sun than we were six months ago. That changes the average temperature.

Now give them a little pat on the head by suggesting that if it were this cold in, say, July, they’d be right to find it suspicious...
