Excerpt:
Despite the overall trend of warming winters, cold weather and snow can (and does) still happen as the globe continues to warm – as we’ve seen just this week and sometimes in areas not accustomed to it.
In fact, as counter intuitive as it may seem, rapid warming in the Arctic, a result of global warming, may be partially responsible for some unusual cold outbreaks.
Arctic warming is believed to be having an impact on the polar jet stream – that band of typically strong winds some 30,000 feet above ground level where jets usually fly. The jet stream impacts the movement of storm systems and serves as the boundary between warm and cold air masses around the globe.
Arctic warming appears to be creating a slower and wavier polar jet stream that occasionally sends bitterly cold Arctic air diving unusually far south into usually mild places like along the US Gulf Coast.
So rather than the unusual cold in some places being proof that global warming isn’t happening, it’s actually just another example for how human-induced warming is wreaking havoc with Earth’s ocean-atmosphere system.

The Climate Reality Project: “Just this week, much of the United States saw dangerously frigid temperatures and a historic snowstorm blanketed places like Houston, New Orleans, and the Florida panhandle.

Brian, let me explain something to you.
This cold air outbreak and snowstorm has absolutely nothing to do with human-caused climate change. In a warmer world, there would be less events like this because you need a healthy supply of Arctic air, which according to global… https://t.co/zMhoqgpxVX

The latest climate saga is that the recent Gulf Coast snowstorm and Arctic outbreak impacting the central and eastern United States occurred, not of climate warming, but of it.
