Of course you did. The melting polar icecap means the polar vortex was pushing the extremely cold air southward.
yawn..
Why don't you just add it to the following list of excuses over the years.
1) Low Solar Activity
2) Oceans Ate Warming
3) Chinese Coal Use
4) Montreal Protocol
5) Readjusted past temps to claim ‘pause’ never existed
6) Volcanoes
7) Decline in Water Vapor
8) Pacific trade winds
9) ‘Coincidence’
10) ‘Stadium Waves

I'm a skeptic, but I don't believe that AGW has zero impact on the environment. It certainly does; but where I'm skeptical is how much effect AGW actually contributes to climate change. I think it's healthy to have this discussion and not shut out studies and opinions that challenge the 'settled science', because it's become a political and economic hot button. The truth is there is billions of dollars being made right now in industries that profit from climate change alarmism, so there is reason to be skeptical when these entities are poised to make massive profits by making sure we're scared about destroying the planet, and have every reason to attack anyone who dares to rock the boat and challenge what they've established.
Exactly! It is no longer about science. It's about money and politics.
Are you serious. I live in New England and we had one of the coldest winters on record.
In all these dozens of threads you have started about climate change, and yet you don't even know the difference between climate and weather...Why on earth would anyone believe anything you post is beyond me.
Of courst this is a conspiracy site! anyone asking scientists questions that isnt an approved asker of questions in a way that supports the goals and aspirations of the politicians seeking to control people via the rationing of energy is an evil person bent on leaving humanity free to do what it wants!

I believe him when he says he's scared of liberals, but when it comes to matters of fact he's pants.
Over the last 60 years I have lived in the Northeastern US and have noticed changes, principally growing previously southern crops like peaches and wine grapes, in areas like around here that were previously too cold. I have noted it getting warmer as well. I have also read some of the scientific papers and they agree with my observations. Thus I conclude the Northeastern North America is getting warmer.
The reason is still unknown but I think it is the result of a centuries long atmospheric experiment involving dumping mega tons of Carbon dioxide created by burning previously sequestered Carbon into the air. We are now beginning to observe the results of this action. I believe we will continue this experiment until we run out od cheap Carbon even if it were proved to create global warming. After all short term profit is far more important than long term damage to people other than the folks profiting from burning the Carbon.
In religious terms this amounts to God will let His children harm themselves and does not care a bit.

Really...Genius..Whether thats true or not. I do know the difference between legitimacy and scams!!!!
