Unseasonably warm temperatures are being experienced in the lower 48 states of the US, with the entire region having above-average temperatures. However, Alaska is experiencing full-force winter conditions. Global temperatures have spiked, with the Northern Hemisphere observing anomalies of more than 5°C above the 1951-1980 average in November. This spike is attributed to the El Niño climate pattern. The East Coast storm coverage has been criticized as a climate hoax by some, with claims that similar storms have occurred in the past. The recent warmth is attributed to El Niño, and it is predicted to worsen as part of a climate pattern. The Lower 48 may experience the warmest and most 'snowless' Christmas in at least 20 years.
WaPo @matthewcappucci coverage of East Coast storm is climate hoax record. Reality: Similar storms with stronger winds happened 29 and 31 years ago, also in El Niño years. Cherry-picked low pressure records don't make it record-setting. https://t.co/sYF4SOlAZ5 https://t.co/mZB63l5M5Z
Congratulations, the entire Lower 48 now has a month-to-date average temperature above the 1991-2020 normal - which is warmer that previous normal periods. 🔥 https://t.co/tuaEIj7nXZ

Areas in the Northern Hemisphere observed temperature anomalies more than 5°C above the 1951-1980 average in November. The signature of El Niño also continues in the equatorial Pacific. Information about the data: https://t.co/Y7TeMNRXTb https://t.co/mcXDlddG7R
Climate hoax narrative edited: Global warming now causes more snow.

WaPo admits 2023 temperature spike is not emissions: "The climate pattern El Niño that has pushed the planet to record warmth over the past six months is nearing its peak, potentially as one of the strongest El Niño events observed over the past 75 years, new data show." I… https://t.co/e9tkFKcxZr
Warmest, most "snowless" #Christmas in at least 20 years possible in the Lower 48. https://t.co/48K50iwCab
While the lower 48 enjoys unseasonably warm temperatures this mid-December, let's not forget that winter is still in full force up in Alaska! https://t.co/zhqrBh6TWg
GraphCast shows global temperatures skyrocketing 📈 compared to recent decades. +2.03°F over 1991-2020 with exceptional warmth over Eurasia & Canada 🇨🇦 to end 2023. [To get the 1850-1900 baseline, add 0.83°C / 1.49°F --> +3.52°F] https://t.co/2BZyYiCU3r
