You know global warming caused this right? I had a stupid liberal tell me this not too long ago and I just looked at him like he was insane and he caught himself and didn’t say another word. Damn if stupidity were a commodity the libs would be extremely rich.
Guy at work yesterday told me the same thing. “All this extreme weather is caused by Global Warming.” Another colleague and I just laughed at him, then asked what happened to the mile of ice that used to cover a lot of North America. At least we had a good laugh about dinosaur farts and me driving my Expedition in 10,000 BC.
You’re right. Al Gore’s Muslim network reported it, so we know it’s true:

Cold snap caused by climate change-weakened jet stream, scientists suggest
Experts say ocean warming-induced supertyphoon a factor in changed direction of cold blast hitting the US

Arctic conditions in eastern United States this week may have been the result of climate change-induced stressors on the jet stream that regulates weather over the northern hemisphere, according to meteorologists.
Residents in a large swath of the country’s east have been met with sub-freezing temperatures over the past week. And overnight Wednesday, more than 5 feet of snow descended on parts of western New York state. Media have referred to the strange weather pattern as the Polar Vortex and the Arctic Blast.
Ironically, though, it was warmer-than-usual temperatures that likely sent the cold weather southwards. Climate change-induced ocean warming in the Pacific turned Typhoon Nuri into a “supertyphoon” that punched the jet stream off its course, bringing the North Pole’s weather down over the eastern U.S., according to experts.
Scientists have said that warmer ocean temperatures contribute to more frequent and intense extreme weather, making it likely that climate change strengthened Nuri . . .
