I do believe I said that the weather has been more extreme. Meaning both hot and cold, before it gets well really.cold. The wavy jet stream patterns are causing both hot and cold weather events depending on your location.The Southwest US is baking for the time of year its in because the weather is in a blocking pattern. When there is a trough in the east there will be a ridge in the west that's the way it is in North America. What you also didnt mention about that 47°C event in Sydney is that it lasted 6 hours and when the front finally passed the temperature dropped 20C in about an hour. Another ridiculous extreme. Its not CO2, its the grand solar minimum. Let's also I guess overlook the fact that Cape Cod completely froze over that just doesn't happen.
