Obama Science Adviser John Holdren: Global warming now means ‘more frequent cold snaps’
The Hill: 'The U.S. should expect more instances of Arctic-like weather in the future as the polar vortex — known typically to circulate around the Arctic — weakens its centralized hold due to global warming, Holdren says...And those events cause the polar vortex to become less stable, which means there will be more frequent cold snaps headed farther south.'

Wash Post Throws Cold Water on Idea that Global Warming Is Causing Record Cold: ‘It’s still heavily debated…Elizabeth Barnes of Colorado State disputed the link’ - 'The UN IPCC in 2007 predicted that there was 'likely to be a decline in the frequency of cold air outbreaks... in [N. Hemisphere] winter in most areas.'

Scientist Ridicules John Holdren: He ‘appears to have less scientific competence than most 1st graders’ — John Holdren in 2009: ‘If you lose the summer [Arcitc] sea ice,there are phenomena that could lead you not so very long thereafter to lose the winter sea ice as well. And if you lose that sea ice year round,it’s going to mean drastic climatic change all over the hemisphere.’

Holdren was dead wrong on modern agriculture
Holdren’s understanding of climate science is proving to be similar to his knowledge of agriculture. The website Haunting The Libraryuncovered a key morsel about Holdren from 1970. Holdren told a reporter that the new crops being developed by [the late Nobel Prize winner] Dr. Norman Borlaug was a disaster, and not suitable for Africa and Asia: “We cannot use the same technological bludgeon on the underdeveloped countries that we have used on our own, seriously deteriorating our environment” said John P. Holdren of Stanford University. [End 1970 article excerpt]
Renowned agricultural scientist Norman Borlaug, known as the father of the “Green Revolution” for saving over a billion people from starvation by utilizing pioneering high yield farming techniques, is one of only five people in history who has been awarded a Nobel Peace Prize, the Presidential Medal of Freedom ,and the Congressional Gold Medal. Borlaug, who died in 2009, was also a man-made global warming skeptic.
Holdren has been repeatedly and spectacularly wrong in areas where he was alleged to be an “expert.” Holdren thought he knew better than Borlaug in 1970. Amazingly, Holdren thinks he understands climate science in 2011. It is puzzling that Holdren has not chosen to go in hiding out of sheer embarrassment for his massive scientific failings.
