Respectfully, please stop blaming this on climate change. This is weather, not
climate. Rapid swings in temperature are actually common in the western/central
U.S. This one just happened at a bad time for birds. The records are full of
major temperature changes in the western U.S and Plains since records have been
kept back to the 1800s. Nothing is different now in that regard. The climate
hasn't warmed enough to preclude severe cold air outbreaks or severe winters.
They are getting less frequent because of global warming but they still DO
occur. What I am saying is that if the Earth didn't warm we would still see
such cold air outbreaks and they probably would be a little more frequent.

Hi All,
I think it’s best to refer to it as “global climate change.” Perhaps more
descriptive of what is going on. The climate change deniers love to pounce on
the term “global warming” whenever a severe cold front occurs. In their eyes
this is proof it’s not “warming.” Just saying...
