The John Locke Foundation’s environmental front EnvironmentNC has this goofy post celebrating record snowfall in Switzerland and cold temperatures in South America as proof that the climate isn’tย changing.
As even the most rudimentary primer would affirm โglobal warmingโ is calculated on the basis of global average temperatures, not on one-off weather events in a single region or country. All theories of global warming also suggest that as the average temperature in earth’s atmosphere increases, there will be a corresponding increase in weirdย weather.
The Locke Foundation either missed this memo or is motivated by some other agenda to try to ignore or deny what is actuallyย happening.
