It’s not so much that climate change means an increase in temperature, that’s why we kind of stopped talking about global warming, and used climate change instead.
The overall average temperature is steadily rising, but the bigger everyday issue is that it leads to wilder fluctuations in frequency and intensities of weather events. Hurricanes are more frequent AND more intense, tornados are more frequent and stronger, heat waves are hotter and last longer, cold snaps are colder, etc.
So a record cold snap is not proof that climate change is a hoax, it’s proof that it’s true.
