Spring time and it’s 7 degrees. Usually higher this time of year.

Weather is not climate...
It's crazy that there are still people who don't get this. "It's cold here, so there's no such thing as global warming." They forget that the other hemisphere is on fire.
What’s amazing is despite flawed science people keep believing it and insulting anyone who questions it.
All you have to do is come up with a better model. How flawed the best model is is irrelevant. We use the best model.
Who claims that climate science is flawed? The deniers? All science has degrees of uncertainty, look at physics, biology, medicine. But even so, they provide robust results, unlike creationism, flat-earthers, etc.
“What’s Causing the Recent Spike in Global Temperatures?”
They're not talking about local weather, they're talking about longer timeframe lager region moving averages.

Eg: three month moving average for a north american climatic cell rather than a local daily spring tempreture.

Autumn time and it's 15C here, it's usually getting to sub-10C to sub-5C by mid-October where I live.

Weather != climate.

Which means that in another parts of the world are warmer than it should be, not your current location, or bubble. These are global averages.
