Remember when anybody saying the same thing over the past 10 months was called at the best a science denier and at the worst accused of promoting mass murder. By the "follow the science" group.

What IS going on with the world's weather? Ice blankets the Sahara desert while snow falls in Saudi Arabia where temperature has dropped to -2C​

While January brings snow and ice to many parts of the world, the deserts of Africa and the Middle East are not usually among them. But this month has seen snowfall in the Sahara and temperatures in Saudi Arabia plummeting to -2C (28F). A photographer has captured ice on the sand dunes in the Sahara in dreamlike images as temperatures dipped below freezing. Meanwhile in Saudi Arabia, locals and foreigners alike flocked to the desert in the Aseer region to enjoy the rare sight.

Tied for the warmest year on record.

I like climate change. January is suppose to be rainiest month here but the weather has been warm and beautiful.
I like it. Must be Spring now.

Kinda funny when the "science" can't produce "evidence".

Yep, here and on FB I've been pillared for claiming the "science" hasn't been forthcoming and much of that touted turned out to be poorly supported or worse, fraud.

Tied for the warmest year on record.

That's about 10 years in a row that they have made the same claim but neglect to point out that all those temperatures are within a given margin of error, therefore none of them are discernably the "hottest" - and we don't have thermometers that read to 4 digits to the right of the decimal...
BTW, that's 2 years in a row for snow in the Sahara. La Nina does that - it is a cyclical situation. Asia is bitterly cold too.
