A cold day does not overturn a long-term temperature trend. Climate evidence combines many measurements, including surface temperatures, ocean heat, ice and sea level. Each record has its own methods and uncertainties; agreement across independent lines of evidence matters. Start by asking what is measured, over what interval and where. Our page explains evidence calmly rather than treating every weather event as a single-cause headline.
