All BULLSHIT unless you provide me links! Substantiation! Not your 6th education comments!Many of the record colds we've seen in the past few years are caused by the jet stream changing from a fairly straight west to east flow to one that wiggles like a worm as it winds its way around the planet. That pattern is called a Rossby Wave. Where the stream bends south, it pulls Arctic air down south, as in our midwestern "polar vortex". At the same time, some areas, like the American northwest, get warm, humid equatorial air drawn up. The US NW and western Canada have seen record highs while the US midwest and NE have seen record lows. And, all in all, it has almost ZERO effect on global temperature. It's just rearranging where it is. But guess what causes Rossby waves? A decrease in the difference between the temperature at the equator and the poles. And guess what that dramatic warming in the Arctic has done. It has decreased that difference. The cause of our polar vortex is global warming.
