Remember when the Cult of Climastrology used to say “weather is not climate”? That was when the weather refused to co-operate with their hysterical, over-wrought, apocalyptic doomsaying
FIRST ‘POLAR VORTEX’ OF 2019 TOUTED AS EVIDENCE OF GLOBAL WARMING. IT’S NOT
Large swaths of the U.S. are experiencing the first “polar vortex†event of 2019, and The New York Times is out with an article suggesting cold snaps are becoming more frequent because of global warming.
The Times rolled out an article Saturday claiming “[i]f it seems as if these polar freezes are happening more often, you’re right.†Temperatures dipped across the snow-covered Midwest and Northeast where millions of Americans can expect below-zero wind chill.
The Times’ “polar vortex†article, published Saturday, rests heavily on two scientists who “suspect that the more frequent polar vortex breakdowns can be tied to climate change.â€
“I’ve been making that argument that winter is shortening, but you’re getting these more intensive periods in that shorter winter,†Judah Cohen, a climate scientist with the firm Atmospheric and Environmental Research, told the Times.
“When we lose a lot of ice in that particular area in the summer, it absorbs a lot of extra heat from the sun,†echoed Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at the Woods Hole Research Center.
Even if this is true, it wouldn’t prove, again, that the current warm period is mostly/solely caused by Mankind, particularly our “carbon pollution” output.
Media outlets usually turn to Cohen and Francis during the winter months when brutal cold and snowfall can make it hard to convince people the earth is warming. Both scientists regularly argue human greenhouse gas emissions are driving more frequent, bone-chilling arctic blasts.
This is not a widely accepted theory. In fact, there’s lots of evidence to suggest it’s not correct, including a 2018 study that found “[c]old waves like this have decreased in intensity and frequency over the last century.â€
“Such claims make no sense and are inconsistent with observations and the best science,†University of Washington climatologist Cliff Mass told The Daily Caller News Foundation in 2018 when news outlets reported record cold temperatures were a product of warming.
Yeah, but the CoC is not about science. Remember, after telling us that the Great Pause didn’t exist, they came up with over 70 excuses for why it was happening, before going back and attempting to change the temperature data to erase the pause, because the pause didn’t jibe with their computer models and cultish dogma and talking points.
But, don’t expect them to give up on the above talking point regarding polar vortex’s. Once something is manufactured the Cult won’t abandon it. Especially when it attempts to manufacture a rational for how warming causes super cold weather.
