I know we felt this in Denver, awesome 70 degree days in February!
Gee................... Sounds like a great reason to tax CO2, tax business, reduce US economic output, increase unemployment, increase consumer costs, and to make Al Gore more rich.
Wonderful!
Who gets wealthy and who gets economically punished by an earthquake in the US???!!!
"It is clear from extensive scientific evidence that the dominant cause of the rapid change in climate of the past half century is human-induced increases in the amount of atmospheric greenhouse gases, including carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorofluorocarbons, methane, and nitrous oxide. The most important of these over the long term is CO2, whose concentration in the atmosphere is rising principally as a result of fossil-fuel combustion and deforestation."
or any other mainstream science organisation worldwide.
The term shouldn't be misused by lay people for every cold snap. However, it should be used when the polar vortex is involved.
Was it involved in this recent extreme weather in early 2015 in the US? Yes.
Just reinforces the paper I posted, so thanks.
The recent weather in the U.S. was "Siberian Express", not polar vortex.
and...
From Barnes 2013: We conclude that the mechanism put forth by previous studies [e.g., Francis and Vavrus,2012; Liu et al.,2012], that amplified polar warming has led to the increased occurrence of slow-moving weather patterns and blocking episodes, appears unsupported by the observations.
No one should give two shakes about this global warming malarky.. We got real problems to deal with, so no need to worry about weather fairy stories. If it does get warmer, add a couple feet to the flood walls, for crying out loud.

An unseasonably warm winter has left parts of Alaska's Iditarod trail without snow, exposing grass and gravel and forcing the famous dogsled race to move 225 miles north."
