>When the polar vortex is strong, it’s contained nicely in the Arctic circle and doesn’t bother the rest of us. But scientists have known for years now that the polar vortex is weakening, which means that the vortex is more likely to break and send blasts of cold air down into the lower latitudes.
>When those breaks happen – like right now – little vortices of cold air spiral out of the polar vortex and bring unseasonably icy weather further south.
>The last time this happened was in 2014, when it caused an extreme weather event in the northern US and Canada.
Polar vortexes were never a thing before 2014, most people didn't even know what a polar vortex was before then. Scientists theorize that the polar vortex is happening because of climate change, and warm air pushing the cold air trapped in the Arctic circle further South.
We can't keep using the "but muh jobs, muh economic growth" argument anymore as a way to ignore climate change. The polar vortex of 2014 caused an estimated $5 billion of economic loss. The polar vortex will cause depletion of many of our Northern cities as people decide to move South where its warmer.

Quite literally what is happening. Climate is a complex global system
Kevin Mitchell
Hope it blows some polar winds this way, haven't had proper snow for a good 7 or 8 years.
Justin Cox
Our ancestors wouldn't have built such large cities in the North if they knew it would be this cold in the winter this consistently.
This isn't sustainable to have large cities like Chicago and New York in places where the Polar Vortex strikes so consistently.

Brandon Clark
This happened in the past. It was called the Little Ice Age. It's happening again, but now it's global warming. Shove your politcally motivated fucking shit down your goddamn throat and kill yourself. People aren't going to buy the lie forever. You are going to exposed, and everything will unravel. Mark my words.

Anyways, I'm looking to buy land in Nome and Barrow for when they become habitable due to global warming. I'm going to rake in billions as I develop some dope ass harbors and storage there. I'll be laughing all the way to the bank as all the Wojaks in California and New York cry impotent tears of rage as their fag cities flood.

how about this:
you come back after getting china to stop being responsible for 90+ percent of the worlds pollution so that something/anything done in america actually has any effect.

you fucking nigger. there were continent sized glaciers that carved the landscape all the way down to the equator. get that "this is the first time EVAR" retarded bullshit out of here.

It was -24F here. Out of curiosity I looked up record lows, same deal all the way back to the 40s. The McRib is back, folks!
Noah Hall
Not while humans lived in North America. It receded before 10,000 BC when people came over here.

How about we just invade China and use our missile defense systems stationed in Seoul, Kyoto, and Tokyo to detonate the oncoming nukes over China?

That's just supporting the point about glaciers. We already had a little Ice Age and a medieval Warm Period as well some centuries back. Look that shit up.

Ice is the white mans ally. Polar vortices are heading south to freeze the shitskins invading europe.

Nah dude. It used to get waaaaay colder than this all the time. Usually in November.
Hunter Cooper

It does not. If anything, this supports the idea that the planet naturally balances itself since there seems like there might be a relation between how stable the vortex is and how much ice there is.

>might be a relation between how stable the vortex is and how much ice there is I wonder what caused that ice to melt
Sebastian Mitchell
I thought Europe was supposed to get the polar vortices this year, and the midwest was to be snowy.
We had freezing rain all weekend, and now it's bitchass cold with below zero windchills. Sheeeeit!
Sebastian Wilson
Mankind cannot figure out how to cure cancer, or even how our own minds a mass of biological matter and flesh produce thought and intellect... And there are clowns out there that think they will cure the earth? bahahahahaha, sorry mates i just gotta laugh. Fixing global warning has to be on of the greatest scams to have ever existed. You might can stop further damage, but you are a bit gullible to think it can be cured and fixed. The damage is done and the only thing that will fix it is natures own natural process.

Little ice age 2 : electric boogaloo
Mason Perez
I don't know what it is about threads on global warming and climate change that makes most of Sup Forums suddenly become so immature.
We have good discussions on many other subjects. But when it comes to climate change, all hell breaks loose and only a handful of posts in the thread have anything to do with science or even opinions.
A lot of right wingers just find it fashionable to attack climate change science and people who believe in it.
Brayden Gomez
Well the Papacy didn't get 1 billion followers by telling them they can't save their souls, sure the Inquisition helped a bit but it was mostly the honey. Like any religion, the new age AGW religion appeals to religious tendencies in all people but this time you can save not just your fossil fuel stained carbon soul but the entire earth!
Fossil fuels will of course burn until they cannot be recovered efficiently, EROEI less than 1. The only question remaining is who will control those remaining reserves and how? >Energy is recognized as the key to all activity on earth. Natural science is the study of the sources and control of natural energy, and social science, theoretically expressed as economics, is the study of the sources and control of social energy. Both are bookkeeping systems: mathematics. Therefore, mathematics is the primary energy science. And the bookkeeper can be king if the public can be kept ignorant of the methodology of the bookkeeping.
>All science is merely a means to an end. The means is knowledge. The end is control. Beyond this remains only one issue: Who will be the beneficiary?
>In 1954 this was the issue of primary concern. Although the so-called "moral issues" were raised, in view of the law of natural selection it was agreed that a nation or world of people who will not use their intelligence are no better than animals who do not have intelligence. Such people are beasts of burden and steaks on the table by choice and consent.
Call me when you get a complete understanding of climate changes. You do know a single volcanic eruption does more to the air than a year of out cars and shit right? Our effect is so minimal. And here we are with this NEWJEW term for global warming, UHH IT GETS REALLY COLD U GUISE NOT REALLY HOT. Go fuck your self, as long as we avoid venus style greenhouse effect we live. Beyond that we won't be living on this planet too much longer. So who cares. we got millions more to fuck over and learn from.

You mean it will make all the blacks and mexicans move south. North wins again.
Jeremiah Smith
>You do know a single volcanic eruption does more to the air than a year of out cars and shit right? We put out 100 times more CO2 a year than volcanoes
Even if Canada and the US completely ended their output of pollution, there's still no way in hell China is ever going to stop.

If you were there was something about quantum physics that seemed like it didn't add up to you would your first reaction be to accuse quantum physics of being pseudoscience or would you just assumed that physicists knew something that you currently didn't?
>because colder temperatures means less places are cold >but when more places are cold that means we're more warm Believe it or not but the climate is a highly complex system and changes in the earths atmospheric temperature don't affect all areas of the earth in the same way. >Scientists theorize that the polar vortex is happening because of climate change, and warm air pushing the cold air trapped in the Arctic circle further South.

My first reaction? I don't know, but Einstein's first reaction was to say that God does not play dice.
>Believe it or not but the climate is a highly complex system and changes in the earths atmospheric temperature don't affect all areas of the earth in the same way. So complex they can't model it accurately. That doesn't stop them from calling everything global warming, though.
Especially global cooling.
Connor Morris

Well, no one needs to lie about quantum mechanics, but global warming alarmists are known to do that.
No one ever needed to politicize quantum mechanics, either.
