Climate, Jetstream, and Polar Vortex



New interviews from climate scientists at last month's American Geophysical Union Fall meeting in San Francisco.

I honestly can't believe the damned right wingers / climate change deniers. Like, why the hell do 99% of all climate scientists agree about climate change if it's a lie. (And it's starting to come out that those who disagree are being bought by the Koch's etc.).

....the rest of the Northern latitudes warmer than normal for the last month, the Arctic air-mass pulled down over North America, and warmer air pulled in to take it's place. (found on Accuweather.com - hit the climate button at the top of the page)

You won't see this kind of hard science report on Fox


It was Polar WARMING; that caused the Jet Stream to DIP and bring down COLD air.
