Nine days ago I warned that such junk science would soon be reported. We can’t have people questioning the climate dogma, now can we?
Germany’s online Frankfurter Rundschau (FR) just published an article titled: “Why the cold winter is no evidence against warming.”
The article explains why severe winters in Germany do not contradict global warming. The core argument lies in the distinction between weather (short-term events) and climate (long-term trends). That of course gets ignored by the media when there’s a hot summer day.
Experts, the FR reports, emphasize that a single cold winter is merely a statistical fluctuation, while the global trend points upward. “Weather is what you see outside; climate is the statistics over a long period of time,” the FR reports. “A cold winter does nothing to change the long-term warming trend.”
A warm Arctic produces cold Europe temperatures
Moreover, the Frankfurter Rundschau reports that there are meteorological explanations for extreme cold phases despite global warming: a weakening polar vortex, fueled by Arctic warming, that can cause icy polar air to surge further south. “The Arctic is warming about four times as fast as the rest of the world,” writes the FR “This disrupts the jet stream and allows cold air masses from the north to penetrate our regions more easily.”
