Media rushes to remind everyone that 1 extremely cold event doesn't debunk global warming

The massive cold weather front descending over the Midwest this week has commentators straining for analogies (“Deep Freeze,” “Arctic Outbreak” and “Ice Age”) and at least some people wondering what has become of global warming.
quote:
One NOAA official denied that the agency's tweet about the cold snap was intended to refute Trump's declarations on the issue. "Our mission is to share timely and relevant contextual information with the public," said David Herring, who is program manager of the Climate.gov website for the science agency. "We get questions routinely when there are extreme weather events and whether there is a connection to climate science."

In a stable climate, the ratio of new record highs to new record lows is approximately even, scientists said. But in the past year in the U.S., the clear warming trend has remained in evidence, with record high temperatures recorded nearly twice as often as record lows. Several days of low temperatures this week will not be nearly enough to reverse that trend.
Gavin Schmidt, a climate scientist who is director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, agreed that anomalous cases should not distract from what has become the norm. “The basics — it’s getting warmer on average, there are more anomalous highs than anomalous lows and there is more intense rainfall — covers 90 percent of the cases,” Schmidt said.
The media would also like you to forget this:

It has been a while since it was called that.
It’s climate change and it’s pretty indisputable.
However, the cause is disputable.

That's actually true....but these are the same people who say "See? Global warming!" for single events on the other end.

It's a shame that our climate has been politicized so much that people can't discuss it rationally. The weather is definitely not what it used to be which is kind of a big deal when nearly half of civilization has decided to live and work in coastal areas. But you idiots on both sides keep treating it like a political team sport, that will make it better

I'm always amazed at people who will accept the fact that a weatherman can't accurately tell me what the weather will be tomorrow but will readily believe a climatologist who claims to be able to predict the weather generations from now.

The rush to remind people experiencing life threatening cold weather in the midwest that global warming is real was triggered by this tweet from POTUS:
So today, of all days, the media is reminding people experiencing record breaking cold weather that global warming is real. All because Trump tweeted about it.
I'm not even sure if he meant to do this, but he's basically gotten everyone in the climate change religion, including the media, to defend "global warming" on the coldest day that millions of Americans have ever experienced in their life.

The wording seems to depend on what the media wants us to think about it. In the summer, global warming is the more common term. In the winter, it's usually re-branded as climate change by the talking heads.

What do these people actually expect us to do as individuals about global warming? There are countries with billions of people that are fricking this place up way more than we ever could.

Most of the globe was experiencing higher than average temps for the day
It was in response to Trump's ignorant tweet

Because Trump and Trumpkins and simpletons are saying where is global warming when you need it.
Just trying to educate the masses.

No, it’s pretty much just climate change now.
You people politicizing everything are the worst.

What's ignorant about it? Looks pretty tongue in cheek to me. POTUS will comment on extreme weather events one way or another.
The reaction to it is what amuses me. He has people in the church of global warming defending their religion on an extremely cold day.

Have more of your wealth taken and transferred to people who profit from beating the climate change drum.
