In fact, despite the trolling of Donald Trump and other climate change deniers, global warming is probably contributing to the record cold, as counter-intuitive as that may seem. The key factor is a feedback mechanism of climate change known as Arctic amplification.

Not just counter intuitive.
Dumb !

To us yes it is dumb, but to their constituents, it is brilliant.

Maybe it is time we understand that being right is not a winning strategy, fooling the voters is.

Did you know you can unplug your fridge and burn logs in it, and the meat will freeze quickly and the milk will chill? It’s a Global Warming FACT!

Scientists reject claims of record cold being caused by ‘global warming’ – Time Mag. blamed ‘polar vortex’ on ‘global cooling’ in 1974 – Special Report

Time Magazine Goes Both Ways On The Polar Vortex: ‘In 1974, Time Mag blamed the cold polar vortex on global cooling’ — In 2014: ‘Time Magazine blames the cold polar vortex on global warming’ (Via Real Science)

U.S. News: ‘Is Climate Change Causing the ‘Polar Vortex’? Article rebuts: Claim ‘appears unsupported by the observations’

Wash Post Throws Cold Water on Idea that Global Warming Is Causing Record Cold: ‘It’s still heavily debated…Elizabeth Barnes of Colorado State disputed the link’ - 'The UN IPCC in 2007 predicted that there was 'likely to be a decline in the frequency of cold air outbreaks... in [N. Hemisphere] winter in most areas.'

Meteorologist Dr. Ryan Maue rejects claim that global warming is causing record cold: ‘This polar vortex episode is the global warming media’s most recent ‘Snapchat’ message: after a few seconds, explanation just dissolves’

Princeton Physicist Dr. Will Happer refutes claims that global warming is causing record cold: ‘Polar vortices have been around forever. They have almost nothing to do with more CO2 in the atmosphere’

Yeah . . . that’s the ticket. . . .

So if warming feedback can cause freezing, why doesn’t my oven make ice?

[TigersEye]

When I want my coffee super hot I put ice cubes in the cup.

And taking more of your money away will make you richer. If I get fatter will I lose weight? Let’s see if this guy lives longer if gets hit by a bus.

[Organic Panic]

Is there anything Carbon can’t do???

Sustain life apparently.

[Feckless]

as counter-intuitive as that may seem

Translation: I'm, you know, lying my @$$ off.....

[Daffynition]

Stay indoors. Wait 'til spring.

[Daffynition]

50 posts and no mention of polar bears or Antarctic ships stuck in ice?

An inconvenient truth: More polar bears alive today than 40 years ago

Watch John Coleman debunk global warming; separating science from politics.

Well, heck yeah! The last ice age was caused by global warming, wasn’t it?

[Bubba_Leroy]

Sweet Jesus, that is an ugly, ugly man.

Ugly and stupid.

Ugly can be fixed with diet and a good plastic surgeon. Stupid is forever.
