False prophets would use God's natural world to their advantage and condemn current faith leaders. Such an idea is depraved. There have been such temperatures at Earth's poles since it orbited the Sun. It is the way of the natural world and not a punishment from God.
Saudi scientists have never had more place in society to explain these trends and the love God has for the people even in such surprising natural events.

Schools were closed by the government in some regions, including Hail. Education Minister Ahmad Al-Essa canceled all morning assemblies until the end of the week.
The Presidency of Meteorology and Environment expects the cold snap to continue across the country, with temperatures ranging between zero and 5 degrees....
There are major religions in the middle east besides Muslim. It is important the conversation about God and false prophets are part of the dialogue of all the people of the middle east. Daesh has already stated it's aspirations include Europe and in that Italy where indeed Pope Francis ministers to the Roman Catholic faithful.
Daesh is a perverse reality that has to be met with strong ridicule. Such ridicule matters, especially to a global audience. The world not yet deeply effected by Daesh has to remain within the spectrum of God/Allah/Buddha and others. The world's religions should be very vocal. Pope Francis made that plainly obvious with his visit to the USA.

Rome — Secretary of State John Kerry (click here) said on Tuesday at a meeting here of the American-led coalition fighting the Islamic State that the group must step up its efforts to prevent the militants from gaining a “stranglehold” in Libya, where it has become a growing threat.
“We’re still not at the victory that we want to achieve, and will achieve, in either Syria or Iraq, and we have seen Daesh playing a game of metastasizing out to other countries, particularly Libya,” Mr. Kerry said, using an Arabic acronym for the Islamic State.
Mr. Kerry, opening a day of meetings devoted to planning the next stages of the battle against the Sunni extremist group, said the formation of a national unity government in Libya would prevent the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, from seizing control of the country.
Warning that the stakes were high, he said, “The last thing in the world you want is a false caliphate with access to billions of dollars of oil revenue.”...
Syria is currency in realizing the level hate of each other can rise. Yes, the Ba'athists left Iraq. But, they found fertile soil in Syria to raise hate through religious differences.
Daesh in Syria should not have been a surprise and I find it strange it is stated to be. There had to be USA intelligence at some level cringing and waiting for the emergence of the reincarnated Ba'athists. It was politically expedient in the USA to ignore it and call Iran the bogeyman.
