Many people conflate weather—the day-to-day conditions outside—with climate, which is the average of those conditions over decades.
Experiencing a cold winter or an unusually chilly day doesn’t disprove global warming. In fact, according to the NOAA, climate change can actually disrupt weather patterns, sometimes causing more extreme cold snaps. The key is to look at the long-term global trends, not just local or short-term fluctuations.
