Never mind the fact that we are suffering through the coldest winter in 30 years.

Dr. Marshall Shepherd, the former head of the American Meteorological Association, appeared Sunday on CBS’ Face the Nation to opine on winter weather affecting the East Coast while a drought impacts the West. He said that the public has largely forgotten how to cope with severe winter weather because those events have become rarer as global warming accelerates.
Shepherd began by criticizing climate skeptics who have said that the existence of cold weather in winter controverts the theory of man-made global warming. He said that this reaction was like saying “because it’s nighttime, the sun doesn’t exist anymore.”
Shepherd added that winter weather is also the result of climate change in the same way that as warm weather is the result of climate change. “We know that climate change is happening and humans are contributing,” he asserted.
