Ugh, this again.
Every new year like clockwork, the same "daily" weather maps pop up to diagnose climate change & scare people.
This is typically started by activists on social media & amplified by bigger voices w/o any scientific context. Highly misleading & problematic.

Excellent thread by Professor Roundy who is leading expert on large scale atmospheric circulations on synoptic and seasonal time scales. @PaulRoundy1 is pointing out the obvious and does so with evidenced based arguments, as always. https://twitter.com/PaulRoundy1/status/1346070567867265030?s=19
