Don't say that climate change includes extreme cold temperatures.
Climate change is about average and extreme warm temperatures only.
None of the problems the planet will face in the absence of action are due to cold temperatures.
Droughts, wildfires, etc are exacerbated by rising warm temperatures. The correct response to Trump is that the Midwest is not a planet.
