Climate change? 😂 All of humanity has been migrating to coastal communities for centuries. Don't like the cold, move to Phoenix. Don't like the heat, move to Newfoundland. Don't want to have hurricane parties, don't live on the Gulf or Atlantic coastlines. Blame government? 🙄

@AnimatronicLick It is the government's job to prepare for these events, yes.

@SW-User There is no such thing as bad weather - only bad clothing. Part of living with mother nature is preparation and planning.

@Atrevido1 Wouldn't surprise me. I've had some science teachers in high school that were probably less scientifically literate than I was at the time. And a pot-smoking hippie of a government teacher. All kinds out there.

Pop-sci articles are dangerous too, they are catchy, present speculative research in sensational terms, and aren't written by scientists. Clickbait in printed form. On the flipside, they often get people interested in the various fields, so who knows.

@Atrevido1 yeah I checked . I guess there were lots of scientists who were backung the 'New Ice Age'(times article) maybe that is why the teacher was discussing it.
One article claimed it was almost unanimous among meterologists.
Either way
