　　There is no doubt that certain regions of the United States experienced extremely cold temperatures this winter. But, as any climate scientist will tell you, that’s no reason to doubt the overwhelming(强大的) evidence about climate change.

　　Weather is to climate as mood is to personality. Just as you don’t change your opinion of a generally good friend because she had a rough day and behaved poorly during lunch, you shouldn’t ignore climate change because of some cold weather and snowstorms. Here are four things to consider about the recent cold weather and climate change.

　　While parts of the United States were suffering through freezing temperatures, the Earth as a whole had its 4th warmest January on record. Australia went through a massive heat wave in the beginning of 2017, with temperatures above 120 ; it was over 60  in parts of Europe on Christmas Day; and Russia had its warmest November-December since record keeping began in 1900. Even in the United States, Alaska and the Rocky Mountains were unusually warm this winter, and California set the record for warmest winter ever recorded.

　　The wintertime warming trend is most obvious in some of the coldest areas of the country, such as the Northeast and Upper Midwest. But for many cities, including New York City, Boston, Philadelphia, and Washington, winter temperatures ranked in the middle of the range of historical winters.
