    Tf does this even mean? “Coldest?” It will swing wildly in both directions until the ecosystem collapses in on itself.

    Next winter will be colder, next summer will be hotter

      Pretty sure they are referring to average annual temperature. The winters may get colder in some areas, but the summers are getting hotter everywhere, and to a bigger degree. So the average temperature will continue to trend up.

      It means that every year is going to be hotter than the year before it, making it the coolest year from this point to the end of your life.

        It’s just not accurate though. Again, most scientists have parts of the world getting INSANELY cold and some parts getting INSANELY hot. But it will not be an even distribution.

        Overall heat going up? I agree. But the wording of the article isn’t theoretically correct.
