Frigid iguanas in Florida. Snowball fights on North Carolinas beaches. Recent winters have delivered a bitter chill to the Southeast, reinforcing attitudes among some that global warming is a fraud.
But according to a scientific study published this month, the Southeasts colder winter weather is part of an isolated trend, linked to a more wavy pattern in the jet stream that crosses North America. That dipping jet stream allows artic air to plunge into the Southeast. Scientists call this colder weather a hole in overall global warming, or a warming hole.
What we are looking at is an anomaly, said Jonathan M. Winter, an assistant professor of geography at Dartmouth University and the principle investigator in the study. The Southeast is the exception to the rule.
Climate change scientists say the Southeast is an illustration of how global warming is not a globally uniform phenomena. Certain regions will see different effects than others, based on El Ninos and other natural weather patterns.

Anomaly, yeah, of course. /s
Global warming/climate change idiots grasping at straws more like it....
What we are looking at is an anomaly,
What will they say as the effects of the recently observed and documented “Maunder Minimum” gradually increase over the next couple years??
To all of us with actual science backgrounds, the daily reports of various bad thing that will occur (but have not occurred yet, but will occur, or perhaps not) because “climate change” demonstrate conclusively that journalists are just not very bright.
Along with politicians and actors.
Notice how they adapt their flawed Gorebull warming propaganda to the latest dynamics in the weather patterns?
Honest scientists will view an “anomaly” as a reason for throwing out the theory. In real science, if you discover evidence that contradicts the theory, then the theory is wrong.
Not mention: citrus greening, hurricanes, canker, etc. Also, not mention: Destroying citrus groves for housing developments!
“...an assistant professor of geography at Dartmouth University....”
Yup, that most certainly gives this individual the technical background in math and physics to analyze atmospheric dynamics.
A “hole”...in global warming.....?
Who writes this stuff, the creators of South Park?
Philosophy professor Bradley Dowden explains the fallacy as an "ad hoc rescue" of a refuted generalization attempt. The following is a simplified rendition of the fallacy:
Person A: "No Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."
Person B: "But my uncle Angus is a Scotsman and he puts sugar on his porridge."
Person A: "Ah yes, but no true Scotsman puts sugar on his porridge."
LOL anomaly ...isolated trend ... exception to the rule I love to see how the alarmists need to twist themselves into pretzels in their attempts to explain away the increasingly obviousness that their models, supported by bogussed up data, are agendanista bull crap.
Lefty lunatics.

..”warming hole” sounds vaguely obscene
If the weather doesn't match up to these global warming bulls*tter's computer model predictions, they just dismiss it and call it an anomaly.
These global-warming-is-going-to-destroy-the-planet people became boring years ago.
Now they are just insufferable.
Basically, if it’s unusually warm or unusually cold it’s evidence of “climate change” (formerly global warming).
Don’t remember what they called it when it snowed in South Florida back when my children were young. No big deal then. Just fun for the kids while the smoke pots were burning in the orange groves.
Hot-Cold-Wet-Dry!!!
It all proves global warming. Everything!! Everything proves global warming.
Now shut the hell up and send us your money.
Maybe the "warming" parts are the exception to the rule....been on the MS Gulf Coast for 32 years and I remember a lot more heat during the first 10 of them - and no, I haven't just become acclimated..
