It's a question that pops up whenever it's really cold: If there's global warming, why is it so cold?
According to meteorologist Ray Wolfe, with National Weather Service Quad-Cities, it's not that simple.
"I think a good way to think about it is climate is your personality, and weather is your mood," Wolfe said. "Your personality is who you are over the long-term, and your mood can vary day-to-day for any number of factors that influence it."
In other words, climate change is a long-term trend.
"Clearly in our part of the world, as well as globally, the temperature has been warming for quite some time now," Wolfe said.
Judah Cohen, a winter storm expert for Atmospheric Environmental Research, based in Lexington, Massachusetts, says the polar vortex we are experiencing started with misplaced Moroccan heat. Meteorologists watched last month when the normally super chilly air temperatures 20 miles above the North Pole rapidly rose thanks to that southern warm air.
But because of climate change, Wolfe said, the odds of these sort of cold temperatures happening in the Quad-Cities are less than they would have been 30 or 40 years ago.

Al Gore forgot to pay the global warming bill so right now it’s turned off?
Goebbels is laughing uncontrollably at this point.
It is cold because it is warm, m’kay?
So climate has a personality? Wow! Sounds very scientific. /s/
“If there’s global warming, why is it so cold?”
It is global warming. If you boil water long enough, it turns to ice.
I suspect the warmistas are going to get plenty of practice explaining away cold weather in the next few years.
I can prove global warming is due to human activity.
During the day when people are active, it is much warmer than at night when people are inactive and it is the coolest when people are sleeping!
Thank you! Where is my grant money?

Goebbels Warming has an explanation for everything.
Don’t worry, just pay your carbon tax and it will all be better. In addition, you can feel like a superior person for paying that tax! How wonderful.
85 degrees f in Brisbane Australia currently looking for 87.
Gaia is angry because people have too much freedom.
Man-made global warming is total BS...
Natural climate change has been occurring ever since earth was formed......
This whole thing is nothing more than an elaborate tax scheme...
I know that because every day slightly above average is used as proof of global warming but a cold winter is never disproof.
Hot is Climate Change. Cold is just weather. Simple.
I’d like a truck load of 87 delivered here in Illinois today if you please.
FedEx is on the way.
Global Colding. Duh.
Its kinda like when your beer sits too long on the table it gets warm. If your coffee sits on the same table at the same time it gets cold. But you must remember that you need less freedom and to pay more taxes so we all don’t die.
