How Global Warming Can Make Cold Snaps Even Worse [Polar Vortex!]

In fact, despite the trolling of Donald Trump and other climate change deniers, global warming is probably contributing to the record cold, as counter-intuitive as that may seem. The key factor is a feedback mechanism of climate change known as Arctic amplification.

But it’s ARCTIC AMPLIFICATION! The liberal left knew this was going to happen when they named their cause Globull Warming - you people are just too stupid to understand true science and Cold Hard Facts!

I only believe it if it comes from Al Sharpton wearing a lab coat.

Its freezing her in Maryland.

I knew it was global warming

Repent

Give up your fossil fuels before we all freeze to death

Smoke weed instead.

One fondly hopes that the ‘climate change’ scam will be finally rejected as its proponents begin claiming that bitter cold is ‘really’ because of global warming. Using the pejorative ‘deniers’ for those of us who have always claimed the ‘climate change’ theory was a scam to tax wealthy nations - primarily the U.S. - is pointedly insulting. The absurd claim that its colder now because, you see, the earth is getting warmer is beyond being counter intuitive but actually defies logic.

Does this a-hole think no one will question why colder weather was not part of the globull worming theory to begin with? Does he really believe people will ignore the fact that the GW narrative changes often because the previous narrative was shown by reality to be false. Every time one of these warming cultists or greedy government professors tries this crap the only response should be “That wasn’t your original story, were you lying then or are you lying now?”

The commenters are for 90% merciless against the alarmist writing this article. It's also posted at http://qz.com/163636 (Quartz.com), where they were clever enough not to allow comments.

OTOH, I was vastly outnumbered by alarmist friends of a poster on FB that that article (in qz.com) got cited.

Just another made up term to support the next lie. Just a term used by the next public lairs. Just the next desperate grasp at not losing those big dollar research grants.

Listen up people! It could be shitting out there and it would be attibuted to global warming. If it does nothing or everything it is global warming. If it gets hot=global warming. If it gets cold=global warming. If it stays the same temperature day and night for months at a time=global warming. AND THEY HAVE THE DATA TO PROVE IT.

They have been disproved by lying and faking their own data. Now they say that they misinterpreted their own faked data and it is going to be warmer than ever.

That graph and five dollars will get you a cup of coffee down at Starbucks.

These total scientific illiterates know NOTHING of thermodynamics, and most especially, of the very unique properties of water vapor-water-ice. When water moves from one phase to another there are VERY large heat signatures involved. It takes 80 calories of heat to change one gram of ice to one gram of water, at 0 degrees Centigrade. It also takes one calorie of heat to raise the temperature of water from 0 degrees C to 1 degree C, 100 calories to warm the water from 0 degrees C to 100 degrees C. To change one gram of water to one gram of water vapor, it requires 540 calories, so VAST quantities of heat must be either lost or gained to change from one phase to the next. As long as there is liquid water, runaway global warming is not a very likely scenario, at least not until all the water is vaporized and boils off into space.

Water vapor, being lighter than the earthly atmosphere that surrounds it, rises far above the boundary layer that is the earth’s surface, and in rising, radiates its heat to space, cooling to the point where it forms microcrystals of ice, the high lacy cirrus clouds we all recognize. But the microcrystals, being larger and heavier than the surrounding atmosphere, then sink back to earth’s surface, and while passing through warmer parts of the air, absorbs heat again and becomes liquid, falling to earth as rain, or if it does not melt, as snow.

The ice-water-vapor cycle is one of the most powerful engines of meteorology, and is the prime driving force behind just about every weather phenomenon we know. And solar energy is the fuel that drives this engine.

Human beings cannot make even a tiny patch on the vast amounts of energy that are exchanged each and every day as earth turns upon its axis.

According to this site Lake Superior alone loses 29 billion gallons of water PER DAY through evaporation.

As a scientist (who might even know a few things about weather and climate) I always cringe when people think that there is such a thing as "settled science".

Global warming is (arguably) a mere hypothesis; and, when advancing an hypothesis, a true scientist invites critical analysis. (And does not insult with names such as "deniers".)

The proponents of global warming appear to grasp at preposterous rationales with religious-like hysteria, seeking to intentionally obfuscate what an impartial person would conclude (it's cold).

Today's global warming mongers have scientific methods in common yesterday's snake handlers. (Okay, one little insult. They earned it.)

They had some ‘expert’ on a segment with Stephanie Abrams on the TWC touting something similar where the current ‘warm period’ in Russia was the result of climate change affecting us here with subzero temps. I think Stephanie is also a believer in man-made climate changes. Keep the faith radical lefties.

"Polar Vortex... Arctic Amplification"... newly applied terms to sell the same old BULL$HIT to the American public.

They're trying to make us believe that Global Warming is what's causing much of the Country to be in the deep freeze.

Utter and complete BS.
