You are fully ignoring the fact that it's not just warming, but also an increase in climate chaos. They are just as likely to get mega freezes randomly, along with regular tornadoes or droughts as they are to get longer growing seasons. Calling it "warming" is a misnomer.

Not quite. Calling it "warming" was found to be inconvenient once the observations failed to confirm the models.
"Climate chaos" is the new sexy, focus-group tested term. Not based on science, but a solid foundation of confirmation bias.

A EE professor I used to respect once told me he doesn’t believe in global warming or whatever because some ice core data was taken from Siberia, and they probably do sloppy science.

The area I live in has experienced floods, tornados, blizzards, thunderstorms since time immemorial.
The frequency and intensity of these events hasn't changed, but our ability to measure, capture and share the effects with a large audience sure has. Something to think about.
