Local climate change happens constantly. There is no scientific evidence that global warming is enhancing variations about the mean increase, which is 0.13C per decade for the global troposphere[0]. Local climate change, especially extreme year on year changes like in California, is not noticeably affected by global warming, and thereby not by the human contribution to the global CO2 increase.

The frosts the last few years have been from arctic cold blasting south, which is directly attributable to the weakening Polar vortex [0], which is directly linked to higher global ocean temperatures and sea ice loss [1].
