Study links polar vortex chills to melting sea ice
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | September 2, 2014 | SETH BORENSTEIN,

Remember the polar vortex, the huge mass of Arctic air that can plunge much of the U.S. into the deep freeze? You might have to get used to it.

A new study says that as the world gets warmer, parts of North America, Europe and Asia could see more frequent and stronger visits of that cold air. Researchers say that's because of shrinking ice in the seas off Russia.

Kevin Trenberth, climate analysis chief at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, is skeptical about such connections and said he doesn't agree with Yoon's study. His research points more to the Pacific than the Arctic for changes in the jet stream and polar vortex behavior, and he said Yoon's study puts too much stock in an unusual 2012.

It is Antarctic ice that is at a record high. Arctic ice has rebounded over the past 2 years to a point where it has restored more than half the multi year ice that was supposed to be gone forever!

As the world gets cooler we hear even more sidelong references to things that happen “as the world gets warmer.” Reality does not co-operate so now we get continued reference to the planted axiom. If it is talked about as if it is simply a fact then maybe it will gradually accepted as such.

I check this site every morning.

http://nsidc.org/arcticseaicenews/

Along with Spaceweather.com and the local CoCoRaHS site.

Most folks confuse lots of data when talking about Arctic ice. In the yearly pattern it grows through the winter months and shrinks through the summer months.

If you click on the graph you’ll see there is a lot more sea ice this time of year than there was in 2012 - but still a bit below the average they decided to use.

The Antarctic is coming out of winter but is at record levels.

At last I understand; because it’s warmer it will now be colder, RIGHT!

Hm. Do they mean this shrinking ice cap?

Keep in mind that libs never let the facts stand in their way, and besides, manbearpig has scammed $Millions from moron dems by preaching Globull Warming.

Huh??

That makes no sense. Look to the recreational marijuana legalization to help understanding this type of twisted logic.

How does moving cold from one place to another result in net warmth?

You hate President obama, and are probably a racist, like I'm probably a racist for questioning globular warning.

You forgot to include any description of how/why the ice caps at the poles are growing as they are melting.

"And therefore can look forward to a warm winter. Right. Somehow I don’t think that’s how its shaping up."

The old farmers almanac said it will be one of the coldest winters on record...if you believe that sort of thing....

The ice pack last summer was something like 30% more than the year before. Weird how an effect of melting sea ice would happen in a year when the ice was a lot more extensive.
________________________________________________________

Actually the Artic Ice was 41%more than 2013.

It isn’t getting warmer, it is getting Colder. In Australia some private researchers found the government raising the temperature station raw data by over three degrees from 1 degree below normal to over two degrees above normal. Fake global worming.

There is no global warming. There are cycles, we are at the beginning of a grand minimum we just got off a grand maximum. It is going to be cold for 30 years if we are lucky, 50 years probably and possibly heading into a real ice age for 100,000 years with the icecaps being two miles thick covering norther Europe, Asia and Northern North America.

Articles like this one are obscene.
