Big global warming meeting in Canada

Polar Vortex: Climate Change Could Be the Cause of Record Cold Weather | TIME.com

[Zero Liability]

I've always been thoroughly sceptical, but open minded about the possibility that climate change is at least partly man made, but with the numerous credibility issues around the warmist lobby claims simply make the whole loot look rather absurd. Crying wolf syndrome.

WHS

It's pretty much the watermelons' last hope.

really?

Blame slow jet stream for US deep freeze - environment - 07 January 2014 - New Scientist

On the US cold issue, they keep saying that it's the coldest snap for 20 years which in global terms isn't even the blink of an eye, it's far from unusual for a large continent which borders on the North Pole to get a tad chilly now and then.

Cold mid winter weather in Canada and North America, big shocker that!!!!

so you think its natural variation ?
me too.

meanwhile the eco loonies claim its caused by AGW.

is the NOTHING co2 can not do ? its better than bl**dy green kryptonite


if you have 200 countries, at least one of them is going to have some sort of annual record every 100 or 200 years

Good grief, at least read the damn thing ... from the Time piece...

The jet stream—the belt of fast-flowing, westerly winds that essentially serves as the boundary between cold northern air and warmer southern air—is driven by temperature difference between the northerly latitudes and the tropical ones. Some scientists theorize that as that temperature difference narrows, it may weaken the jet stream, which in turns makes it more likely that cold Arctic air will escape the polar vortex and flow southward. Right now, an unusually large kink in the jet stream has that Arctic air flowing much further south than it usually would

Ah, but if there were no warming then you'd expect a balance between record cold and record warm.

is the jet stream the dog
or is the jet stream the tail


nobody knows

who said there was no warming ?

there is a natural cycle. warm, cold , warm ,cold

You are starting to get a bit foolish now

why not take a break from all this and come back refreshed next year or something

Hmmmm. Love to, But who starts all these GW disinformation threads?
