I know you're being snarky, but it actually IS likely a result of anthropogenic climate change! The north polar region is warming much faster than most places on the globe. Without its usual thick mass of ice, the region isn't cold enough to sustain the usual "polar vortex." Global models have been predicting for weeks that the vortex would split, and a lobe of very cold air would spin off over Europe, causing record cold temps.

The debates are over and we are already living with the consequences of burning up so much fossil fuel. But your snark is, uh, really funny! Ha ha!

You can't have gone the past couple decades without anyone pointing out there's a difference between weather and climate, so I'm assuming you understand the difference but choose to ignore it in hopes that there will be people ignorant enough to believe you.

The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) was established in 1988, 32 years ago.
