Where this editor is spending Christmas is in the low 50s. It's great. He was able to walk the dog without slipping on icy sidewalks the whole way. The snow plow crew gets to take a breather on the holiday. It was icy last week … maybe we've tracked down the culprit.
Missouri State Rep. Tony Lovasco and his climate-denying friends are the ones to thank if you're suffering through a 70-degree Christmas in Missouri. Maybe it's time we had that talk again about the difference between weather and climate.
Lovasco's happy to take credit.

Perfect beer weather, what's your drink of choice?

Indeed! If I'm drinking beer I usually go with something dark.

I had no idea you were powerful enough to change the weather.

Can we borrow you in PA for the winter?

Thanks Tony!

LOL. Oh my gosh. It's SOOOOO hot that it's sweltering! Who is denying the climate? We're denying the climate *change* hoax. It's the climate change folks who are denying the climate. We used to just call it weather, though. Merry Christmas, Tony! pic.twitter.com/TzssbeCarQ

It's "global boiling" now.
So funny. Liberals are just miserable people no matter what. 😂

Imagine being upset you don’t have to shovel your driveway this Christmas.

I saw this tweet literally 5 minutes after CBS said it was 38 at kickoff in Kansas City.

The temperature changed, as often happens with the weather.
One warm day and it's the climate deniers' fault for not banning fossil fuels.
For reference, the photo we're using from this post is from Missouri last Christmas … you can see how much damage Lovasco has done in just a year.
