Its not one or the other, that’s overly simplistic. Using this one data point to “prove” climate change is about as honest as someone bringing a snowball into congress to prove it’s fake.
You need both to prove a sustainable point, otherwise it’s forgotten with the next cold snap. This is one extreme data point, and it helps to showcase the problem, but it is not the only one. Use it as part of a whole, not as a singular showcase.
Lemmy users falling for the same logical fallacies they laugh at others for using challenge: impossible.
A single datapoint doesn’t prove anything, but a pattern of change that can be proven to be influenced separately from typical weather variation does. Like it or not, it would also have to be proven that the pattern is being caused by something distinct from global climate patterns.
For the record, I firmly believe climate change is real, I just hate when people I agree with try using the same dumb arguments as the people I disagree with.
It’s not high summer, and 40C is crazy. This is climate chang. Saying it’s weather is oil propaganda.

Thats my interpretation of OPs comment.
Yes.
