Polar vortex brings deadly cold snap to US states

Cities are all but shutting down across the US Midwest as the region shivers in a deadly cold snap known as a polar vortex.

Yup, the silly uneducated people don't realize that global warming
produces local and regional cooling, and increases the frequency and
intensity of extreme events. Most (but not all) events like this can't
be directly tied to global warming, but there's no doubt that such
events are more frequent and more severe because of it.

Never say die...

North American cold weather events have been fairly evenly distributed over the last 120 years or so. The worst was supposedly 1899, shortly after anything resembling detailed records were first kept.

We have only had reliable records of hurricanes for about 55-60 years, and nothing remarkable has happened in that period. We do have more people living near coasts, which has the effect of making hurricanes more noticeable in terms of death, destruction and newsworthiness.

The alarmists are among the worst offenders when it comes to CO2 emissions.
