Dutch canals freeze for first time in 12 years.

Global warming and pollution to blame?

The article says:

But water pollution and climate change have made this so rare that today a boy of 15, Brinker’s age, may never have seen a frozen canal, or at least remember one.

Pollution would raise the freezing point of the canal water. So the frozen canals seem to suggest that 1) well, it’s cold, and/or 2) the water is cleaner.

Both of which are hard to reconcile with the “global warming is accelerating out of control!” and “we’re killing the planet!” memes.
