From a recent article:
"The winter storms of the past two years might have some Texans thinking that winters overall are getting colder, but that’s not true. 'The coldest temperatures in Texas have actually gotten warmer, so winters have gotten milder over time,' said Ramalingam Saravanan, the department head of atmospheric sciences at Texas A&M University. By 2036, the average temperature in Texas is expected to be about 1.8 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than the 1991–2020 average. In Texas, that means snowstorms are likely to become both less common and less intense—leaving residents mostly unprepared for the ones that do occur. 'What we saw in 2021 and to a lesser extent in 2022 were not cold winters, per se. They were cold outbreaks during winter,' Nielsen-Gammon said."

I think it is well known that I am gravely concerned about global climate change and an advocate for and supporter of policies designed to stop the relentless increase in average global temperatures for which humans and burning of fossil fuels are responsible to a very great extent.
