Screenshot of tweet by Eminem. Text of Eminem's post reads: 

I'm sorry we never got a chance to meet, but getting this note from Dolly really had a an impact on me. She definitely didn't have to take the time to do it.  Even for a kid who mostly listened to rap music, she was an icon. A superstar in every sense. Rest easy Dolly. And thank you for the kind words.

He's so ignorant, I can't stand it. Global warming causes colder, more extreme winters by disrupting the polar jet stream. As the Arctic warms faster than the rest of the planet, the temperature difference shrinks, allowing frigid Arctic air to meander south, bringing severe, erratic cold snaps.
