Climate is not the air that you have inside your refrigerator. Its a system. If one part of it changes, the other parts will change in different ways to keep the system stable. So something cooling off somewhere does not mean that it will also cool where you are. It may rain more, it may be dryer, it may be much more hot, it may not have any effect or any combination of all of that may happen.

Climate change is basically pulling the levers in a slot machine. Better not to pull the lever at all.

I don't see it as mocking--more an allegorical lesson.

Not everyone can understand basic thermodynamics without first being shown some examples.
