Pirate's Cove

It’s basically allegory, but, I’ve had multiple people up north, including my mom, tell me they cannot remember when it has been so cold, and snowy, for so long in the NY-NJ area. I remember a time during the late 80s where the night time temperature was zero to 10 for a long stretch, without the windchill. But, of course, the cultists at the Times have to chime in

What’s Up With This Big Freeze? Some Scientists See Climate Change Link

If the planet is getting warmer, why is it so cold this winter?

The seeming contradiction comes up often when talking to Judah Cohen, a research scientist at M.I.T. who has been studying how global warming might also be causing colder winters in the eastern United States.

The idea, explained Dr. Cohen, is that a warming Arctic can cause a high-altitude ribbon of air called the polar vortex to stretch and wobble. That wobble can affect the flow of the jet stream that controls much of the atmospheric conditions over the United States, causing waves of high and low pressure that affect our daily weather.

For weeks, a mass of frigid air over the North Pole has dipped into eastern North America, bringing record cold temperatures for a prolonged period. In the West, a ridge of warm, dry air has stalled for weeks, panicking ski resort operators and prompting concerns for communities that rely on a healthy snowpack for drinking water in the summer months.

OK, same old same old cult talking point, it’s super cold because of heat trapping gases. Does this mean it was super crazy warm during the last glacial age? Anyhow, it gets more interesting

It’s non-falsifiable. It’s not science. It is a cult.
