So where is global warming?

[tubebender]

The cold is not here in Benderville

Regardless of the forecast, it would not be wise to invest in orange juice futures.(IMHO)

[reaganaut]

Neg temps with wind chill to -25 here in the upper plains states. Usually not this cold until February where we live.

“It’s always existed at the poles, but the polar vortex strengthens in particular during the winter and can send cold air southward.”

This must be something new. Cold weather in the winter.

All I have to do to keep the evil polar vortex at bay is to pay $$$ to the correct government agency and they will make the air stream flow straight.

Tues. my brother texted me that it was 17 (in Illinois). Going down to 4 in the morning. I texted back it was about 80 here (78 in Florida). It's going to be cooler Wed. About 75 with a 60% chance of rain.

When I was young, about ten years ago, they called this an “Alberta Clipper”.

“Polar Vortex” sounds much more ominous, doncha think?

[Jack Hammer]

In Boston it’s as cold as a well digger’s bum - but, then, December is always like that.

Can anyone recommend a nice town in Arizona or Texas?

[DesertRhino]

Oh, a polar vortex. That’s where a blast of insanely bitter cold sub-zero air comes down from the north pole... the place that’s getting warm and melting because it’s above 32F, right?

[Cololeo]

I’m cornfuzed. How can we have globull warming at the same time as a return to a cold war????

[BoomerBill]

If it’s in the 20’s around Philly, I’m still wearing my cargo shorts.

[Fresh Wind]

They’ve been naming winter storms for a while now, but have they started naming cold waves?

BTW, this pathetic term “Polar Vortex” is nothing but a euphemism for the JET STREAM. I am on good personal terms with a bonafide meteorologist...when “polar vortex” started sneaking into the media, I asked him directly about this. He confirmed my suspicions. This is basically the difference between “climate change” and “global warming”.

[vpintheak]

So. Winter returns to many of you lower 48ers?
Welcome the the party.

[babble-on]

the last three months?

[Stopthethreat]

Not sure. I think the warming melts the ice and the air gets super cold? And then when its super hot again its because the warming overwhelmed the cold air again? And the warming somehow causes any and all other detrimental weather phenomena? Not having a superior liberal mind Im really too ignorant to fully understand the complexities. We just need to believe. Warmists assure me the debate is over, 105% of the scientists all agree.

[ballplayer]

Polar Vortex? I think it’s called the Jet Stream

[abclily]

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

“Polar vortex” ... please.

It’s called a “cold snap.”
