Extreme cold that is abnormal.and consistently abnormal can also be reflective of the effects of climate change. It's only the people who think snow disproves it that think this is an argument.

Ah yes, that's why they had to change it to the somewhat nebulous 'climate change' instead of 'global warming'.

Global mean temperature is increasing. Global warming is still a thing, and it's happening:

But I don't know. Perhaps you're more clever than NASA who examines the historical data and their fancy apparatus that carefully measures these things.

In terms of correlates to other historical measurements over longer time spans, it's pretty clear that our times are exceptional:

I'm not sure what personal insights you have here to back your skepticism, but it wouldn't match the science, which is our best way of knowing anything.
