Never mind the ones in the Pacific, the Indian Ocean, and the Southern Hemisphere.
They are only real if they are on HIS watch and hit the MAINLAND.

change. I have tried to explain it, but they just don't want to hear it. As far as they are concerned, global warming means that it is hot all the time all over the planet. They don't get the whole climate instability thing and how it affects weather patterns. It's so frustrating.
