Climate alarmists resort to the *extreme weather* excuse whenever it suits them, for example when unusually cold weather arrives somewhere. In this case a vast area of China has ‘all-time December lows’. What empirical evidence is there that supports the idea of trace gases in the atmosphere being capable of having such effects?

More low temperature records tumbled across China on Thursday, as the country endures a persistent cold snap that has crowned a year of extreme weather, says Phys.org.
The national weather office said in a social media post that more than 20 stations posted all-time December lows in the early hours of Thursday.
They included Hohhot, capital of the northern Inner Mongolia region, where a reading of -29.1 degrees Celsius (-20.4 Fahrenheit) broke a nearly 70-year record.
Authorities have issued an alert for low temperatures across a vast area of northern, eastern and southeastern China.
The brutal cold follows a summer of record-smashing heat and devastating floods across the country’s north.
Experts warn that global warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions makes extreme weather more likely. [Talkshop comment – these ‘experts’ think warming can cause cold weather records to fall?]
