*Heating Arctic may be to blame for snowstorms in Texas, scientists argue.*

Global heating is not uniform — it does not mean that every part of the Earth gets steadily hotter. It is possible for a region to get quite cold for a few weeks a year, while its average temperature rises.

It is even possible for a region to get colder on the average even as the Earth's surface overall gets hotter on the average.

Right-wing anti-truthers blame renewable generators for power outages in Texas, which in fact are the result of problems in fossil-fuel generators.
