It was the coldest February since 1962.

Snow-capped mountains are seen behind the Los Angeles's downtown skyline at dusk on Feb. 21. By Matthew Cappucci March 1 at 11:36 AM For the first time on record, Los Angeles went an entire February without once hitting 70 degrees. And the City of Angels registered its coldest month since 1962, averaging about five degrees colder than normal.

“This has been one of the colder, wetter winters I’ve experienced,” wrote Jeremy Herbst, a meteorologist who has lived in Los Angeles for more than 15 years. “We’ve had frost on a number of mornings and more rainy/cloudy days than usual.” But it is not just rain that has been making headlines. Snow showers were even reported at several Los Angeles County beaches on Feb. 21. The flakes flew at Malibu Pier and Leo Carrillo Beach, the flurries approaching sea level in Point Dume.

LaurenLyster Global warming strikes again. Time for Los Angeles to pass laws keeping citizens from pasturing cows in their back yards.

Global Warming, at work.

Global Warming. Oh wait, climate change.

Fire LA

It’s got to be the global warming.

Extreme weather is the proof of climate change. Just because we had the hottest summer and coldest winter doesn’t mean long term the planet is not warming. We need to do everything we can to slow it down or face millions of environmental refugees or have to become one.

Global COOLING?

Same for its median IQ.

Science: 1) 2018 looked pretty mild. 2) Man made 3rd World population growth=383,000 per day. 3) The Earth's core is shifting.

Global warming.

City of sin

Easy fix. Get more homeless to shit on the sidewalk. The methane will warm the earth.

Alex, what is 'weather?'

Yep it’s that global warming again. Damn.

MoRe LiKe GLoBaL cOoLiNg

We have 12 years until the world ends

My favorite winter in LA so far. Great skiing in the Mtns.

Global warming!

Those poor homeless must be freezing

Now if they can only put the homeless to work.

I know. I'm in Florida with my kids. No blanket necessary!

Wait until this summer. The Reason I'm replacing all my A.C. units.

Good thing they changed Global Warming to Climate Change.

All I have to say is just f off! Currently where I live it is minus 32 degrees. Here is a photo of our February wind chills. Worst February ever.

We are all going to die!!! Run for the hills!!

Yeah, this winter has sucked. I moved here specifically to escape this shit.

What is really sad trump and republicans believe god control everything including the it doesn't matter what man does it is all on god.blind faith blinding them to the truth of what man can cause on this planet

Climate Change is really about coldest Feb. [ 1962 ] nearest time

It is winter-tornado-hurricane season

G L O B A L W A R M I N G

Betherblue It’s not a failure unless LA’s goal was to hit 70 in February.

Hmmmm. So maybe the entire globalwarming thing is one big hoax. Just another Democrat lie to try to get votes

February 25 is the hottest day ever recorded in Belgium with 18,8° Celsius

If ever we doubted handing over billions of dollars to govt bureaucrats so that they can make wind tunnels & clogs out of hemp &get us to turn out our electricity at 2pm then this news is the final nail in the coffin. Give them more money! Forget about China & India. USA to blame

I heard the cows were pissed after President AOC declared their farts enemies of the state, so they upped their gas expulsions. Poor LA. Cows be dangerous.

Just about sign of climate change that trump and republicans will ignore.

Oh my God! The world is ending!

And in the U.K. we had our hottest ever February day at just over 21 degrees Celsius, and the first time the temperature has got above 20 in our U.K. ‘winter’.

We could’ve used some of that “global warming” right now ☀️☀️☀️

It's a climat change.

Recorded history. Not even an eye blink.

Everyone should watch 'The Day After Tomorrow' with Dennis Quaid and Jake Gyllenhall.? It will open your eyes , great movie but scary as hell.

BREAKING NEWS: CO2-induced heat causing California temperatures to plummet as state continues ‘permanent’ drought amid massive snow and rain storms. ClimateHysteria

People seem almost delighted to announce that it’s because of climate change, that it validates their own doubt that man made climate change is a thing

London was warmer than LA - in FEBRUARY!!

I am sure POTUS has already tweeted you.

How many years of our life will be suffer the hoax of global warming when evidence constantly conflicts. Al Gore said the icecaps would be thawed in 2000. Then everyone said by 2012 the icecaps would be melted. Can't we ever get a reset on the garbage climate 'science?'

It's not global warming, it's climate change

Blaming Climate Change? Climate Change is a myth and a wealth redistribution scheme!

Global warming is real, people! We need moonshots here!

Ah the comments on global warming, you all know that there is more to the globe than Los Angeles Right?

“Hey is L.A. there? Yeah, tell her it’s July and August on the phone and not to worry, she’ll be finely roasted.”

Yeah, - but is the Investor Class happy?

sujeeeen It's the rapture!

And nobody cared

This is Global Warming causing torrential downpours. An atmospheric river has fed flooding in California. Trump said that if California had raked the forest floors like they do in Norway(?) the fires would not have been so bad. I guess that poor ocean management is causing this.

The amount of people commenting on here who don’t understand that global warming means hotter highs AND colder lows is beyond depressing.

Headlines like this infuriate the climate change crowd for obvious reasons. Trump tweet incoming in 1...2...3...

Cold is the new hot

Even so it's not a bad climate for living...

While many of us in Europe hat the warmest February on record. By far! JetStream – A warmer Arctic (etc. etc.) ...

Stupid 'Presidential' comment in 3... 2... 1...

Could spell trouble for Michael Mann's debunked junk science hockey stick graph.

😂

Fucking global warming. Oh wait.

Poor babies.....

How should journalists write about killings near schools? The students weigh inAs part of our investigation into killings near schools, we asked students to annotate an L.A. Times story about a homicide that took place close to campus. Here's what they had to say about our work. I don't see what it's proximity to a school has to do with anything. Not in today's climate. That's just asking for it to be lumped in w actual school shootings. aka Sensationalism.
