>Most of the cold air was locked up over the Artic this past winter, whereas normally it is carried south by the jet streams. Some areas of the planet did have record cold in February. An article about February's snow in Baghdad, Iraq (the second snowfall in the last 100 years)

The "second" snowfall would mean it wasn't a record. The data showing this winter was the warmest on record as a global average (not just Virginia) takes these outliers into account. Nothing about those events calls the general warming trend into question.

>Humans need to work on being climate-flexible, not being "all in" on global warming.

No, humans need to accept reality. Carbon dioxide emitted by human activity is warming the planet and that could destabilize parts of the environment that humans rely on.

>The third logically valid option is that climate is now cooling due to the solar cycle.

This is a joke, right? You said it yourself: the period of the solar cycle is 11 years. It cannot explain a phenomenon that has been observed over more than a century.
