How does it hurt the cause when it appeals to folks who keep experiencing record lows in a world they are constantly told it is heating up


A little bit of education on climate change would clear up your confusion.

Because it's a low IQ take that misrepresents the theory of the case of climate change. No one ever said that there would be no more cold days. The prediction of science is that climate change will make cold days more rare and hot days more frequent, and that the long-term average temperatures will rise almost everywhere in the world. Long-term here referring to timespans of more than a decade.

Furthermore, weather is an extremely complex system. It is not necessarily a contradiction for generally rising temperatures to lead to an increased likelihood of cold spells in some specific places.

I'm not confused, I was referring to the cause previously described. There's a reason people don't believe people like you

Because the planet is warming globally. Also note that places like the great lakes region might still see their annual mean temperatures go up, even in a world where cold spells during winter have become more likely for this region.

Same reply as plaguefear to you with this added. You are too easy to trigger and it shows because I never expressed my personal beliefs which actually agree with yours

Sure there is, they are dumb and uneducated and refuse to evolve from that state.

To come back to your initial question:

Because getting some few, uninformed people on your side with factually wrong arguments will only make your cause look worse to everyone else.

That cause is strong. That's why you 2 are so upset right now
