Kind of unusual for frost in the 2nd week of May in Virginia but nothing to get crazy about. Climate happens.

ain't science marvelous?I get it. Even though I see my tomato plants being killed by frost I should realize that the theory of global warming combined with the theory of undersea warming actually means that my tomato plants aren't going to die and if they do, they died for a greater cause. The theory of MM Global warming is a wonderful thing. It should be a religion.
What caused the recent “Warm Arctic, Cold Continents” trend pattern in winter temperatures?

Abstract
The emergence of rapid Arctic warming in recent decades has coincided with unusually cold winters over Northern Hemisphere continents. It has been speculated that this “Warm Arctic, Cold Continents” trend pattern is due to sea ice loss. Here we use multiple models to examine whether such a pattern is indeed forced by sea ice loss specifically and by anthropogenic forcing in general. While we show much of Arctic amplification in surface warming to result from sea ice loss, we find that neither sea ice loss nor anthropogenic forcing overall yield trends toward colder continental temperatures. An alternate explanation of the cooling is that it represents a strong articulation of internal atmospheric variability, evidence for which is derived from model data, and physical considerations. Sea ice loss impact on weather variability over the high-latitude continents is found, however, to be characterized by reduced daily temperature variability and fewer cold extremes.

Am I correct when I assume that this stuff is not accepted by the scientific community as incontrovertible fact but is part of the defense of the theory?What caused the recent “Warm Arctic, Cold Continents” trend pattern in winter temperatures?

After all the promises we'd be under water due to warm temperatures,
Why can't the hysterical Henny Penny left concede that the big celestial nuclear reactor in the sky is a mysterious bitch and just enjoy the freaking changes of the seasons without trying to create a political agenda?
