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.
