Burning Man festival-goers trapped in desert as rain turns site to mud

You have to laugh … I remember Glastonbury, up to my knees in mud - it’s all part of the fun. Having said that, it’s unlikely turn into a survival situation in a field in Somerset, so not really that comparable …

Kind of ironic considering the climate protests on the way in.

How is that ironic?

A festival shooing away protestors protesting climate change and then that festival experiencing an extreme weather event because of climate change

Ah, gotcha. I missed the story. Still not strictly ironic, but I get what you meant now.

Is there a word for it? When I posted it I was hoping someone might correct me :)

Weather and climate are not the same thing

Yet they are not mutually exclusive.

It's just stupid how people deny climate change because it can still rain and still get cold.
