Climate change is real. But is 10 degrees above average really climate change, or is it a weather pattern? As a skier I still have hope that this pattern will flip, and Feb/March will be very cold and snowy.

I assuming this will just be an unusually warm winter, but as average temperatures rise these kind of winters will be more and more common.

To anyone who doubts that this is 100% manmade, and is not "just a weather cycle," this is always helpful to look at

TLDR: yes, the climate cycles. Slowly over tens of thousands of years. Since we started burning fossil fuels, the trend is clearly not natural.

I should have said real and man made. I just meant that during a winter, one month can be above average while the next is below average, or vice versa. All monthly averages are definitely creeping up though.
