To be fair this kind of thing goes both ways. Things like tornados and heat waves are being increasingly blamed on global warming. The author of the article even falls into the very fallacy he's decrying by suggesting that the polar vortex may have broken down because of global warming. People don't seem to understand that weather and climate are different things. The global temperature has risen .8 degrees since the late 1800s. To claim that we can feel that at the level of weather is ridiculous.
- super-serial 8y agoI agree in general weather and climate are different. But concerning the polar vortex - the jet stream has become more wavy (north & south instead of west & east) due to climate change. That's why we get -20F a couple days in Chicago, then a few days later it's 45F. Shifts like that never used to happen. The only reason it does now is because the jet stream is changed due to climate change.
