    If only. Where I live that’s not really been the case. The temperatures all year have just gone up. Except last summer when it was cold af the entire july and august for some reason and we had no sun.

      Jetsreams in the atmosphere and ocean currents are breaking down. While they would usually carry cold fronts/warm fronts predictably, these pockets of extreme temps are now acting more erratically. Like yoi said, we had extreme cold and winter storms last year which resulted in mild summers for some. Now there are massive pockets of heat across the Atlantic, causing extremely hot summers right now for the east coast of the US as well as the EU.

      We’re at the point now that without some agressive carbon capture, we will experience climate collapse. Zero emissions is no longer enough.

      But we gotta burn that oil, gotta make more money now!

        Don’t get me wrong I am not going against you. Just pointing out we have not had any real winters for about 15 years where I live. Sure there were a couple really cold days but those were a thing before as well. No extreme winters have been had.

          Yeah, I’m not trying to go against you either, sorry if it sounded like that.

          Overall, globally, the averages are going up.

          The only thing predictable is how unpredictable weather patterns will be going forward. 🙃
