Blaming a two day heatware on Global Warming is simply a ridiculous claim.
Half of the UKs coldest winters since the 1900's seem to have been in the last few years - 2009, 2010 & 2021 (The other half being in 1947, 1962 & 1982).
I guess it must be Global Cooling ....

Global cooling is a thing. That's why the scientific term changed from global warming to climate change in the 70s. Although the average temperature of the planet is getting warmer, the
weather of certain regions might get colder overall.
For weather we'll just see more extreme events overall.
You can't blame any one event on climate change but if you keep having such events more frequently then that's probably climate change.
