Watts Up With That?
February Fantasy Redux

Excerpt:
This is an extension of my previous post entitled “February Fantasy Versus Reality“. Please read that to get the basic ideas. To recap, a study in Science magazine said
Despite the rapid warming that is the cardinal signature of global climate change, especially in the Arctic, where temperatures are rising much more than elsewhere in the world, the United States and other regions of the Northern Hemisphere have experienced a conspicuous and increasingly frequent number of episodes of extremely cold winter weather over the past four decades.
The Arctic is warming at a rate twice the global average and severe winter weather is reported to be increasing across many heavily populated mid-latitude regions, but there is no agreement on whether a physical link exists between the two phenomena.”

=======
Misleading since the region ITSELF isn't warming hardly at all, it is the energy inflow from the Tropics that is warming the far North even then it is still well below freezing in the usual time frames since 1958, but actually it is a sign of cooling ocean waters.
This is FALSE as the article makes clear.
