There's lots of ways global warming could lead to colder winters.[0] For example, the temperature differential between Arctic and mid-latitude air normally keeps the polar vortex contained. As this differential decreases, however, the polar vortex becomes less contained. As such, the maximum latitude reached by the jet stream increases with the Arctic's temperature. This creates colder weather in some places. [1] [2]
As unintuitive as it sounds, global warming can lead to colder temperatures. It is up to people who disagree with this theory, not its proponents, to prove their case.

- godmode2019 6y agoThanks I'll give that a read and come back to you.
- godmode2019 6y agoThat would be true is their was not already well defined explanations. This article from January talks about SSG and how it will affect the polar vortex in North America. (It's paywalled so using the google URL) https://www.google.com/amp/s/api.nationalgeographic.com/distribution/public/amp/environment/article/the-polar-vortex-is-coming-raising-odds-for-intense-winter-weather https://www.google.com/amp/s/api.nationalgeographic.com/dist... " The polar vortex is coming—and raising the odds for intense winter weather In the stratosphere over Siberia, temperatures recently jumped nearly 100 degrees Fahrenheit, shoving the polar vortex off its North Pole perch." This article is very good at talking about what we know from SSG. It has nothing to do with carbon. https://eos.org/features/how-sudden-stratospheric-warming-affects-the-whole-atmosphere https://eos.org/features/how-sudden-stratospheric-warming-af... You have to be trolling. I just read those articles you sent me and they agree with what I am saying. Carbon causes slow and gradual warming but their are still natural cycles that 'cause the snow that skepics get so worked up about'. I said co2 does not cause cooling. Nothing you provided even mentioned that. The only thing was from the first article 'scientists are looking into it' related to co2 causing cooling.
