Ok,
Oy.....more bad news for the AGW k00ks.

They are always talking about everywhere it isn't ball busting cold!
Warming in the arctic leads to a weak polar jet stream. A weak polar jet stream wanders more than a strong one, allowing it to dip further (and more often) south than normal. This brings colder air to places it normally wouldn't be.
So yes, global warming is bringing arctic temps and more ice to the great lakes.
Educate yourself Scooter.
Polar Vortex: How the Jet Stream and Climate Change Bring on Cold Snaps
Warming causes cold...how stupid do you have to be to believe any line of "reasoning" that leads to that conclusion...no matter how pseudoscientific it sounds.....If that polar jet stream is coming from over the arctic...and the arctic is warming...why is it so f'ing cold? You just claimed that the arctic is warming...but the air coming down from the arctic isn't warm...it is cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
Serious question. Not an insult. Please don't take this the wrong way:
Are you functionally retarded?
No answer...how completely unsurprising is that?
The idea that warming in the arctic causes these arctic blasts is not a widely accepted theory except among alarmists, and flies in the face of observed evidence...
'Polar Vortex' NOT Proof of Global Warming | PSI Intl
Media outlets usually
turn to Cohen and Francis during the winter months when brutal cold and snowfall can make it hard to convince people the earth is warming. Both scientists regularly argue human greenhouse gas emissions are driving more frequent, bone-chilling arctic blasts.
This is not a widely accepted theory. In fact, there’s
lots of evidence to suggest it’s not correct, including a 2018 study that found “[c]old waves like this have decreased in intensity and frequency over the last century.”
“Such claims make no sense and are inconsistent with observations and the best science,” University of Washington climatologist Cliff Mass told The Daily Caller News Foundation in 2018 when
news outlets reported record cold temperatures were a product of warming.
“The frequency of cold waves have decreased during the past fifty years, not increased. That alone shows that such claims are baseless,” Mass said.
The U.S. government’s 2017 National Climate Assessment special
report said “it is not possible to draw conclusions regarding the direction of the relationship between arctic warming and midlatitude circulation based on empirical correlation and covariance analyses alone.”
The 2017 report added “confidence is low regarding whether or by what mechanisms observed arctic warming may have influenced midlatitude circulation and weather patterns over the continental United States.”
Other climate scientists have also challenged Francis’s and Cohen’s claim that cold snaps are becoming more frequent. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration scientist Amy Butler
noted breakdowns in the polar vortex, which happen every winter, “does not seem to be increasing in frequency nor is there consensus it will by 2100.”
Cohen fired back over Twitter, saying he stood by the results of his work. Butler didn’t dispute the findings of his 2017 study, but did show there seems to be no evidence of a long-term weakening of the polar vortex.
