Comment on Ice fishing today for what will probably be the last time this century

Northern Italy here. We are having the coldest winter in 10 years. At my house, I live I the countryside, we had - 8°C for quite a few days this week, and also in November a streak of unusual cold.
While I can feel the global warming, and I think climate change is a reality, this doesn’t mean that we won’t have anymore frozen lakes…
Maybe less, indeed, and I wouldn’t invest in a frozen lake fishing enterprise (nor skying in the Alps for that matter), but don’t consider a locally warm season as the last good winter is gone forever… :)
It means extremes for sure. It’s why the hurr durr it’s cold out people are morons, our climates are changing. Warming causes global changes.
Some areas get drier like California. Some places get colder. Midwest of the US gets more intense and frequent tornadoes and extreme storms. My area is getting more rain.
Take what you already get in terms of extreme weather, dial it up to 11.
Yeah, if it warms enough that the gulf stream goes poof, Europe will get much colder winters.
And the gulf of Mexico will be a fucking cauldron
Isn’t the amoc pretty much stalled out already?
My areas weather is slowing improving a lot. Much drier and much less humidity is good… Not for agricultural and tourism (skying) but for actualiving here yes.
Granted, I had to install AC for that time in the summer (2 days 7 years ago, 2 weeks nowdays). And winters are still cold… But being overall much drier I love it more.
So is that a good thing? Nope. But you need to adapt I guess, not much hope in us fixing it.
We had -13 a couple days and yet our pake has not frozen in about 15 years. Used to freeze every year. People used it as a shortcut for hauling lumber for gods sake.
Climate change is real.
Yes I fully agree…
“We get record temperatures every year, its nothing new”
Northern Italy here. We are having the coldest winter in 10 years.
Idk where in the North are you, but around these parts the “exceptional” cold just means it’s been a winter like the ones we used to have in the past, young people just don’t remember, or, no discrimination intended, they’re not from around here.
Central Italy here. For the first time in this decade I found ice on the windshield. I remember in the 90s it was thick ice for 3 months and I was always late for school because it took too much time to scrape it

It’s not so much that climate change means an increase in temperature, that’s why we kind of stopped talking about global warming, and used climate change instead.
The overall average temperature is steadily rising, but the bigger everyday issue is that it leads to wilder fluctuations in frequency and intensities of weather events. Hurricanes are more frequent AND more intense, tornados are more frequent and stronger, heat waves are hotter and last longer, cold snaps are colder, etc.
So a record cold snap is not proof that climate change is a hoax, it’s proof that it’s true.
