Wow. So it is much more complex than us apes originally thought. Duh. We are on a planet that has cyclic ice ages that bring catastrophe, yet we have no idea what causes them. Dont ya think that should be where all the research goes right now?

The weaker winds started at the top of the atmosphere over Antarctica, in the region known as the stratospheric polar vortex. We think this sequential occurrence of tropical and then stratospheric influences contributed to the record declines in 2016.

Weaker winds...caused by all those windmill power generators sucking energy from the wind.
