Apparently The New York Times has snowflakes for brains as it struggled to find the climate change link in the blistering cold that has gripped the Eastern Seaboard. Times reporter Eric Niiler ran a ridiculous February 7 piece of propaganda disguised as news that was laced with a complete lack of self-awareness:
The headline? “What’s Up With This Big Freeze? Some Scientists See Climate Change Link.”
Niiler floated the possibility that “A warming Arctic can stretch the polar vortex, a high-altitude air ribbon, one says. The ‘wobble’ can disrupt the jet stream, causing extreme cold in the East.”
At least in the 1970s-1980s, frigid temperatures were more narratively consistent with the “Global Cooling” angle, but this was just the latest textbook example of climate media activists trying to have their cake and eat it too.
He was at least apparently aware of the glaring contradiction but still attempted to shoehorn some kind of logic into it anyway. “If the planet is getting warmer, why is it so cold this winter,” Niiler pondered. “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.”

They don’t have a freaking clue.
If you don’t like the weather, just wait 15 issues.
Heads I win tails you lose.
It is in the 40’s and 50’s this week in Minneapolis, Minnesota

The cult is reduced to pathetic post hoc speculation. Scientifically meaningless.
“””It is in the 40’s and 50’s this week in Minneapolis, Minnesota”””
I’ll be getting a lot of stuff done outside in the next week. 50 degrees in Minneapolistan this weekend is going to be nice. It’s been cold for a long time.
60 in central Va. feels like 80.
The coming ice age. Leonard Nimoy was right!
....was 86 degrees here in central Texas this past Monday...
Snow and cold in NYC during winter?! Trumps fault! /NYSlimes and most other leftidiots
These are the same commie goofball experts who’ll inform you when the global warming scam is finally over. Could be a while.
50 below in Antarctica today. Wear a warm coat if you are out and about.
The instructions include closing your eyes.
Global warming is freezing us to death

Clearly no one at the NYT has ever read a serious geology book.
It feels like February
Never give up the con, never.
This is our first day this year in southern NH that we are above freezing.
This weekend it is supposed to be 40F.
This morning I was in the Massey Ferguson tractor at 5:45 plowing another 3” of snow. I have a good 2’ of snow everywhere on the property.
Oh my gosh, it’s cold in New York during Winter?!
Would have never thought it possible….
