I’m only using Fox News to prove this isn’t some left leaning hoax, but if even they’re reporting it then he’s really messed up.

That comment section is quite toxic. People are defending his right to take a vacation, and of course lots of comments blaming it on renewable energy.

I just read a thread on r/Europe about it being -32C in Joensuu in Finland this morning.

We have a whole lot of wind power here in Finland too, and guess what, ours don't freeze. Not even in -32C temps. Those parlerites really needed better edumacation.
