Why is good weather not blamed on Global Warming?

It has been Beautiful in the desert southwest lately.

It seems that only bad weather events are blamed on global warming. But what about good weather?

How can GW only be responsible for the weather that we don't like?

@DogMan says

1970 – Kenneth Field “The world is cooling and global temperatures could drop by up to 11ºC that would freeze the North Atlantic for 4- months of the year within 20 years.

Whoever this "Kenneth Field" is, he did NOT have access to the 800,000 years of climate data we now have.

Lol, a COUPLE articles???? OK, whatever you say. 🙄 Whatever fits your narrative.

OK, lets take a look the scientific cooling vs warming predictions from the 1960s and '70s. Oh look, by 1970 the cooling predictions were a small minority. Sounds like someone cherry picked this "Kenneth Field" fellow.

@ElwoodBlues Well, I will admit that last summer here in Southern Nevada was the worst since I got
stationed here in 1977. It was brutally hot for 4 months straight. So far this May has been cooler
than last May. We are going to get close to 110 this weekend. Luckily I have a place in the mountains
in Southern Utah to escape to.

@DogMan Interesting. BTW, the "climate" that scientists refer to involves like 5-year global averages. So local seasonal variations are more in the category of weather than climate.
