    Even as the US hits record setting lows, the temperature of the planet as a whole remains above average. If it’s -20°F across the entire US, how hot must the rest of the planet be?

        That was hyperbole, I don’t know if it’s been -20°F across the entire country at any one time, but there was a couple years ago when we had that big freeze and Texas almost died

        But also gets that low in my own city sometimes

      If this were common, it would increase the Earth’s albedo, reducing warning

        There is a drug that the earth can take to get its albedo back now though
