IT'S WINTER! Climate-Tormented New York Times Wonders ‘What’s Up With This Big Freeze?’
NewsBusters ^ | 2/11/2026 | Joseph Vazquez

Posted on 02/11/2026 9:47:22 AM PST by JV3MRC

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.”

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.

These are the same commie goofball experts who’ll inform you when the global warming scam is finally over. Could be a while.

Clearly no one at the NYT has ever read a serious geology book.

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.
