It may be unusually cold in the UK (https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/live/2018/mar/02/uk-weather-snow-disruption-storm-emma-beast-from-the-east-live) but it is 35 degrees Celsius hotter than usual around the North pole (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/feb/27/arctic-warming-scientists-alarmed-by-crazy-temperature-rises). Although these occurrences could turn out to be 'one-offs', it is difficult not to think that both may be dangerous indications of climate change. The polar changes could even exacerbate things by releasing more 'greenhouse gases' and reducing the reflection of solar energy. May be there is such a thing as 'bad' weather (and not just the wrong clothing).
