Some conservatives couldn’t resist pointing at Texas’s unprecedented cold snap and saying, “LOL, Global Warming!”

But the flip side of that juvenile argument is taken seriously, parroted in major media outlets everywhere, basically declaring that greenhouse gas-induced climate change makes cold spells in Texas more likely.

This really just looks like the media trying to shoehorn every bad weather event into “climate change.” The problem is that climate “authorities” draw the opposite conclusion.

“The frequency and intensity of cold waves is projected to decrease, while the frequency and intensity of heat waves is projected to increase throughout the century,” according to the National Climate Assessment.

“Cold waves are projected to become less intense,” the assessment added.

Those models are different, though, than the models that the media and Democratic politicians make up and use. The media-slash-Democratic model is this: Whatever bad thing just happened or that you fear will happen was or will be or could be caused by climate change.

Throw in this further absurdity: Democrats use the climate crisis as an opportunity to advance exactly the policies they would advocate in any situation regardless. They don’t let the facts about climate change their long-held opinions (see nuclear power, for example).

So if editors and politicians want people to trust that climate change is a problem, they really need to start behaving credibly and respecting the science. Stop redefining climate change to mean “whatever bad thing is happening” because it’s wearing thin.
