It's getting colder because it's getting warmer

Because science

Because the world is getting warmer, it’s getting colder, too.

An odd, disruptive meteorological condition “is an incredibly effective tool to get the public to understand better how climate is going to affect them,” Francis said. In other words, when icicles are forming in your swimming pool in Houston, you just know something is going on.

The propaganda never stops.

Ever notice how ice can burn you if it touches your skin too long? Look out for those icicle heatwaves!

Btw, when you turn the A/C down, does the room get cooler or hotter? Global worming warming!

Climate scientists need a good global worming, the ones not on someones payroll and meteorologists beg to differ.

In the meantime, the sun is still inactive.

Right, inactivity means colder weather, activity means warmer. They missed the biggest element in the equation.

They didn't miss it, they just didn't include it

That could leave a mark!

There's more here than we can imagine.

Quote:Jet streams are typically continuous over long distances, but discontinuities are common. ... Each large meander, or wave, within the jet stream is known as a Rossby wave (planetary wave). Rossby waves are caused by changes in the Coriolis effect with latitude.

Quote:To add an interesting twist to the story, 2017 was the 4th consecutive year that Earth's rotation has slowed. This is why the research team believes we can expect more earthquakes in 2018, it is the last of a 5-year slowdown in Earth's rotation.
