It’s weird, how I’ve never heard the term “la nina” before people started using it as an excuse to try and dodge the fact the climate is totally fucked.

“It’s the la nina weather, guys! I promise bro! It’ll snow next month, just trust me bro! I swear, please bro, it’s the la nina weather”

Where was this “la nina” when buffalo got buried. All your scientific graphs and charts and radar readings are great and all, but this isn’t normal, nor is it natural. It felt like summer until a few weeks ago, it’s starting to almost feel like fall. Your children wont get to be knee deep in snow, ever, except for when they’re neck deep in it.

Lol, it's not an "excuse", it has been a documented pattern for decades (along with it's counterpart El Niño). That same storm that buried Buffalo gave us rain. It's a similar pattern right now. We may be in the same state but we're in very different climate zones.

Everyone here agrees with climate change, even the ones you're trying and failing to make fun of. Pick up a book next time.

Buffalo always gets more snow because of the lake effect

That too, but this particular storm went up through the middle of NY itself so they were on the cold side and we were on the warmer side. If the storm was further east it would have been us with a classic nor'easter.

La niña and El niño exist, and that fact is not incompatible with climate change.

They are just names provided to describe where the dominating high pressure system is located over the Pacific - closer to the Equator or further north. The pacific high pressure system plays a significant impact on the jet stream, and is the primary indicator of whether storms roll in thru California or Washington.

In fact, climate change has been blamed for making the effects of these pacific conditions more pronounced and less cyclical.

If you're uninformed about something frequently reported in the news, good chance it's because you're naive not because society is trying to pull one over on you.

Sure it exists, of course it does. But no one cared or mentioned it in mainstream media until everyone started to notice “oh, we’re totally fucked” and now everyone is trying to find any other explanation for this years weather.
