Why a Warming Arctic May Be Causing Colder U.S. Winters

The earth getting warmer is making us colder?

Of course. There's only so much heat to go around. If more heat gathers in one place, making it hotter, then there will less heat in other places, thus making them colder. Isn't science fun?? /s

Just read a piece of trivia about Goebbels. He was at a reception at the then swank Hotel Bristol in Berlin in February 1944 when the air raid sirens went off. He jumped in his car and scooted to a bunker. The Hotel was destroyed by a British bunker buster, killing most who stayed behind.

Pay no attention to that snowman behind the curtain!

Newsroom editors need to app[y a basic rule. Any story with a headline that reads, “Could, may, perhaps, potentially, might, impending, trends, etc....” Is not news.

For those of you who are a little dense, I'll repeat...Hot of cold, cold or hot, it's all climate change. We always win the argument because we rigged the game.

[catnipman]

I remember back when all the global warming models were predicting it would get colder.

Oh, wait. I mis-remembered.

those were global warming models from Bizarro World that I was thinking about.

Nat’l Geo has gone full on with this “global warming” crap. If their subject matter isn’t tranny “rights,” it’s some other liberal cause.

Hey, these scientists are really smart and know more than we do and so we must believe them. /sarc

Truth be told, they don't know for certain and can only speculate. Plus, they are in reactive mode and spend their time trying to explain anomalies in their models vs real-world instead of admitting that their models and predictions are not perfect and never will be. Yet, they lead us to believe that their theories and science is perfect and easily understood by the fact that they are willing to bet the farm (our farm) on a at best, risky, gamble.

Are they talking about the same arctic that has had continuous record “summer” cold lately preventing a thaw? ‘That’ arctic?

[CodeToad]

“May”? Let us know when it is proven to be true.

All this guessing and teaser titles are for children and the soap opera crowd.

Here we go again....it's so hot it's getting cold. I'll have to put my ice cube trays back in the oven.

‘How sheeps’ bladders prevent earthquakes.’

‘We must use the larger scales!’

...and therefor, a WITCH!

Men of science...with a long historical record!

Greenland is gaining ice and just recorded the coldest July temperature ever recorded in the Northern hemisphere.

[Sequoyah101]

Bull! They have to stretch the truth a really long way to make sense of this.

Drier in the mid-south. Here in East Central Oklahoma it is nearly mid-July. Traditionally the gardens are burned up by now. We just had more than 5” of soaking rain last week. The Okra is 8” long and not tough. We pick it every day as we do beans, squash and purple hulls. In two weeks the pasture we cut for hay is now a foot high.

I notice with great interest that the records for this time of year, both high and lows, were set mostly in the mid-50s. I can remember those summers out on the Canadian River. It was like an honest to goodness oven.

The United Nations climate chief admitted on 03 February 2015 that the primary goal of the Global Warming hoax has been the gradual progressive destruction of Capitalism, "This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history", Ms Figueres stated at a press conference in Brussels. "This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years, since the industrial revolution. That will not happen overnight and it will not happen at a single conference on climate change, be it COP 15, 21, 40 - you choose the number. It just does not occur like that. It is a process, because of the depth of the transformation."

a study published in Nature Geoscience by a team of researchers ... whose livelihood depends on government grants...

[WKUHilltopper]

Such BS artists. We had maybe two flakes of snow last winter...and those were probably dandruff.

Pay them taxes and they’ll save us. Right.

Anna Michalak, a researcher at the Carnegie Institution for Science, was involved in creating the model that was used to collect data for the study's findings. She explained that the massive system of climate models, called CMIP5, creates a large dataset that allows researchers to study the interconnectedness between activity on Earth and the atmosphere.

I understand completely.

Garbage in, garbage out.

“The earth getting warmer is making us colder? I love voodoo science!”

If you boil water hot enough and long enough, it turns to ice.

[DJ Taylor]

OK, I got it. Global Warming can cause Planetary Cooling, but you just have to be a Democrat to understand the concept.
