Just two years ago, The New York Times said that mild winter weather has the “fingerprints” of human-caused climate change all over it. But this year, The New York Times has changed their tune. Cold winters are also proof of climate change.

Grok says: 

The article explained how a warming Arctic might wobble the polar vortex, letting frigid air spill south into places like New York City, where highs hit just 3°F with wind chills at -11°F. Skeptics highlighted past cold snaps with similar Arctic warming patterns from decades ago, calling the climate connection unfalsifiable and mocked headlines blaming warming for both mild and harsh winters. While science notes Arctic changes could favor wavier jet streams, experts stress natural variability rules short-term events, with milder winters overall and relief from the chill expected after February 11.

On a more serious note:

Al Gore’s “An Inconvenient Truth” won an Oscar. It was everywhere. It became the jet fuel that drove climate change narratives into the minds of children.

Two decades later, the headlines read: “Two decades of inconvenient inaccuracies.”

Why does this matter? Because it’s about narratives. We lived through COVID. We saw how narratives allowed lockdowns and forced vaccination. The narrative of climate change – really, Al Gore’s documentary – was the jet fuel that embedded this in an entire generation.

Here’s what a lot of people don’t know: Al Gore was sued by the High Court in the UK and lost.

In the UK, you can’t put biased, false content in front of schoolchildren.

Because of that court ruling, schools were required to provide a list of all the biased inaccuracies in the film before showing it.

Jefferey Jaxen: “The film claims that a study showed that polar bears had drowned due to disappearing Arctic ice. It turned out Mr. Gore had misread the study. In fact, four polar bears drowned, and this was because of a particularly violent storm…”

Narratives shape policy. They shape what freedoms you have. They shape what gets injected into your children. And they’re often built on inaccuracies that nobody bothers to correct, until it’s too late.
